Under the guidance of Mauricio Raffo, who draws from a wealth of experience in investor-state disputes, the arbitration department at Miranda & Amado frequently serves as lead counsel on local and international landmark cases. Operating across the construction, transportation and telecoms sectors, the team often appears in ICC and ICSID arbitrations. José Daniel Amado is reputed as a well-versed international arbitration practitioner, while Cristina Ferraro concentrates on investment and commercial arbitration, primarily within the energy and mining industries. Luis Alonso Navarro, who was promoted to the partnership in January 2022, handles investor-state arbitration.
