The arbitration department at Spanish firm Cuatrecasas' Mexico City office continues to excel in energy, construction and infrastructure project disputes. The team leans on the wider firm’s international presence to handle multi-jurisdictional cases and is spearheaded by René Irra, 'a point of reference' in the market. He is seasoned as party counsel and sole arbitrator, and is an expert on Mexican law in proceedings outside Mexico. Young partner Miguel Ángel Ortiz is an up-and-coming figure in international arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, drawing on professional experience in the federal public sector, at institutions relating to the energy, infrastructure and international trade arenas. At associate level, senior Elisa Legorreta has experience in domestic and international arbitration administered by the ICC, LCIA, CAM and CANACO, among others.
