Wöss & Partners

Specialist commercial and investment arbitration firm Wöss & Partners maintains offices not only in Mexico but also Washington DC and Lima, and also has a rep presence in Vienna. Perhaps best known as a go-to destination for damages claims stemming from construction, infrastructure and energy projects, the firm's arbitral practice is co-led by renowned international arbitration practitioner Herfried Wöss, a key name in the market; and Adriana San Roman is a leading figure as counsel and damages expert in large infrastructure and energy arbitrations. Both are frequently sought out not only as counsel but also to act as president, panel member or sole arbitrator, or as damages experts or expert witnesses. The firm maintains bench depth through an of counsel network including Christian Carbajal Valenzuela (in Lima), Paolo Cammarota (in New York, where he is also a founding partner of Cabrera Cammarota PLLC), Devin Bray (in Amsterdam), and Ivan Labastida, who is part of the Mexico City based team. Moreover, since early 2022, the firm has operated a collaboration agreement with Curitiba-based firm Braz, Coelho, Veras, Lessa e Bueno Advogados so as to mutually facilitate their international arbitration capabilities; aforementioned of counsel Carbajal, who formerly divided his time between Washington DC and Mexico, now divides his time between Sao Paolo y Curitiba as part of this association.
