More informationMore information

The dispute resolution team at Mayora & Mayora, S.C. has recently built a strong track record in representing clients based in the industrial hub of San Pedro Sula, leveraging its growing presence in the city. The practice handles a wide range of litigation, spanning civil, commercial, labour, tax, IP and public international law, and can also turn to the firm’s branches in Guatemala and El Salvador for support in cross-border cases. The ‘outstanding’ Odín Guillén Leiva, whose broad experience also covers arbitration, leads the team from Tegucigalpa, where senior associate Iván Flores is another name to note for civil and labour litigation; Guillén is also managing partner of both Honduras offices. Senior associate Andrea Tercero is the key contact in northern Honduras.
