Legalsa

Legalsa is particularly renowned for its prowess in the field of dispute resolution, with an ‘excellent, results-oriented' team which is skilled in civil, commercial, constitutional, criminal and administrative litigation, and national and international arbitration. Recently, the firm’s strength in high-profile corporate litigation has been reflected in its caseload, which includes a series of complex shareholder disputes involving major Guatemalan companies. In addition, the team is prolific in the defence of private individuals against claims of tax fraud, money laundering and other criminal offences. Former magistrate Henry Comte, who has a wealth of experience across the full spectrum of dispute resolution matters, heads the practice alongside Alejandro Penados, whose robust skill set includes shareholder disputes and IP litigation, and Marisol Fión, who has extensive experience in arbitration (both as counsel and as an arbitrator). At senior associate level, Andrés Dubón focuses on commercial disputes, while Julia González and Juan Carlos Alvizúrez are noted for their expertise in criminal litigation.
