Facio & Cañas

Facio & Cañas' dispute resolution practice attracts strong praise for its ‘strategic approach and ability to anticipate potential problems’. Striking a balance between litigation and arbitration, the firm represents prominent national and international companies across the aviation, food and beverages, infrastructure, banking and real estate sectors, among others. The team handles the full range of civil, criminal, commercial and administrative cases, with its recent caseload reflecting particular strengths in anti-piracy, construction and distribution-related disputes. Federico Torrealba, a high-profile name for civil litigation, with particular skill in civil liability claims, leads the practice. The deep bench includes Gianna Cersosimo, who has a strong record in civil and criminal litigation (particularly in IP cases for major international brands), as well as in arbitration; Carlos Oreamuno, who lends his expertise in domestic and international commercial distribution disputes; Roberto Leiva, an expert in arbitration; and experienced senior associate Adelita Olivares, whose broad practice takes in economic and white-collar crime cases, in addition to arbitration.
