As part of a varied offering across dispute resolution, Sainz Abogados acts in a range of litigation matters but has particular strengths in contractual and shareholder conflicts, along with all disputes matters related to the firm's signature bankruptcy and restructuring practice, and associated constitutional amparo cases. The firm’s growing energy department is a particular source of instructions to the team (particularly contentious administrative work, of late), while the finance sector has also driven an increasingly significant flow of disputes matters. Daniel Díaz and Adrián Villagómez co-lead the practice group; both are well versed in judicial work, drawing on experience acting for insurance companies, banks, construction companies, energy-sector stakeholders and government entities, among others. Counsel Estefanía Sierra is key support on administrative, civil commercial and constitutional litigation, along with bankruptcy-related matters.
