The dispute resolution team at Olmedo Abogados remains a go-to choice for financial entities and banks. The group has a strong background in the recovery of overdue credits and loan portfolios, advising on judicial and extra-judicial collection management. It also provides representation in both civil and commercial litigation, from inheritance and marital cases to breach of contract, distribution disputes and damages claims. Consumer protection has been a recent growth area for the team, as part of its criminal practice. Experienced litigator mediator and arbitrator Enrique Zacarías leads the team alongside two other partners: Sebastián Olmedo brings extensive experience in the banking sector to the team, focusing on large-scale debt collections; and José Ignacio Olmedo represents a roster of international companies in litigation and arbitration, particularly in agency, distributorship and representation disputes. At the associate level, Rolando Salinas excels in administrative litigation, while Martín Riera focuses on bankruptcy proceedings and Rodrigo Muñoz is another key name to note.
