Clients of Bufete Asali appreciate its 'technical quality and analytical depth' in litigation matters, the team forging a strong reputation across a breadth of dispute types and industries. The practice has longstanding renown in acting for private clients and family estates, but more recent has developed a robust offering in the telecoms, construction, energy, finance and tech sectors. The department is overseen by founding partners Jorge Asali and Luis Asali. Jorge is particularly well regarded for bankruptcy and insolvency-related litigation, and Luis is well versed in representing the firm’s stellar client list at all court levels in Mexico. Senior associate Juan Pablo Rodriguez is involved across the full scope of the firm’s wider dispute resolution practice and focuses on the real estate, food and beverage, security tech and waste management industries. Both he and fellow senior associate Santiago Escobar receive client recommendation and provide robust support to the founding partners. The practice was also boosted by the hire of senior associate Rodrigo Macín from Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC in May 2024.

Due to the above, customer service is excellent. Unlike other firms where it seems that the client has to chase them to move the matter forward, they really become "owners" of the matter.’
