Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA)

Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA)’s client service is roundly praised by sources, who particularly highlight its ‘excellent knowledge and tools’ as well as its response times that are ’among the best in the market’. Forming a key part of the wider firm’s full-service business offering, the dispute resolution group is well versed across a range of litigation proceedings, with construction, insurance, energy, and commercial distribution-related matters standing as notable sweet spots. Up-and-coming partner David Ricardo Araque co-heads the department and is noted for his broad dispute resolution expertise, which encompasses national and international litigation and arbitration; he recently represented Zimmer Biomet in commercial litigation relating to the breach of a distribution contract. Of counsel William Araque — a 42-year veteran in dispute resolution — co-heads the team and is noted for his extensive experience in complex and cutting-edge cases. The group also draws on several talented senior associates, including Loredana De Trizio, who splits her practice between dispute resolution, administrative law, and infrastructure, as well as Carlos Alberto León and Samuel Hernández Lizarazu, who both specialise in dispute resolution. Since publication the firm has welcomed back former managing partner Alejandro Linares some ten years after his departure and following his eight year stint at the country's Constitutional Court; he will provide strategic input on litigation, arbitration and significant transactional matters - effective as of March 2024.
