Patton, Moreno & Asvat's ‘excellent' dispute resolution team is adept at handling both litigation and arbitration, acting for a broad client base which ranges from family offices to large multinationals in the oil and gas, tech and construction sectors. The firm is particularly well known for its expertise in shipping litigation, with significant experience in handling cross-border disputes with the support of its London office, but its practice extends across the full range of civil, commercial and constitutional cases. Khatiya Asvat leads the practice, which also benefits from the experience of managing partner Ebrahim Asvat and Joaquín de Obarrio, who was promoted to the partnership in April 2024 and is a key contact for maritime disputes.
