Roberto Williams
ECIJAECIJA houses a diverse arbitration and litigation practice, leveraging the global firm’s sizeable footprint in Spain, Portugal and Latin America to act for an array of major multinationals. The team is particularly noted for its robust skill sets in IP litigation, where it benefits from the senior expertise of Leonardo Casco Fortín (who is also a partner at Bufete Casco), and in disputes relating to distribution contracts. Roberto Williams, whose broad practice spans IP and insurance litigation, as well as arbitration relating to public contracts, leads the team with Jorge Arturo Reina, who is particularly skilled in projects-related disputes. Former Supreme Court magistrate Rosalinda Cruz Sequeira also lends her vast experience to the practice.
