Central American firm Consortium Legal's comprehensive dispute resolution practice is the first port of call for a host of large Honduran and multinational clients, routinely handling both domestic and cross-border litigation and arbitration, including proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce. Contractual disputes are a core area of strength for the team, which has expertise across a wide range of industry segments, with recent cases spanning the automotive, food and beverages, banking, real estate, construction and energy sectors. Ulises Mejía, who is highly sought after both as counsel in litigation and arbitration, and as an arbitrator, leads the practice.
