Director Daniel Marroquín is a key contact in the team, with a strong record in constitutional litigation, as well as white-collar crime and IP cases. Director David Barrientos takes the lead on the criminal litigation front, supported by associate Javier Estrada, while associates Andrés Calvo and Luis Pedro Guerra are the names to note for inheritance and tax disputes, respectively. Juan Sebastián Soto, Carlos Rafael Pellecer and veteran litigator Rodolfo Sosa also oversee the practice.
