Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC

Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC is a familiar and esteemed name in the Mexican dispute resolution market, fielding a litigation practice that has profound experience in complex, sensitive, high-profile and bet-the-company cases. Class actions are a particular standout among the team’s caseload, with stellar clients across a mix of sectors looking to the firm for support in these long-running matters. A geographical niche area in which the practice stands out is its experience advising Japanese clients on litigation in Mexico. More broadly, the team is well versed in supporting foreign clients in general on contentious matters in Mexico. Sector-wise the team’s slate of work reflects the country’s busiest and most litigious markets, with real estate and energy matters currently at the forefront of the group's caseload. Co-leading the practice, Adrián Magallanes also co-heads the firm's energy group and accordingly focuses his contentious work on litigating complex energy and construction disputes, covering the gamut of matters from PPA conflicts to EPC litigation. His fellow practice co-head, Diego Sierra (in turn head of the Anti-corruption practice and a member of the ESG practice group), maintains a broad litigation practice with a certain focus on complex cross-border litigation strategies, and more recently, anti-corruption investigations and bankrutcy matters. Further depth is provided by younger partners Jessika Rocha (arbitration, bankruptcya and litigation), Raymundo Soberanis (dispute resolution, anti-corruption and compliance), and the dual-qualified (Mexico/New York) Pablo Fautsch (arbitration, litigation and anti-corruption & compliance, along with bankruptcy & restructuring). Appointed counsel in December 2023, Rodrigo Barradas is also dual-qualified (Mexico/New York) and has considerable experience in complex litigation.
