Our litigation practice focuses on the resolution of complex corporate cases in civil and commercial matters before both judicial courts and arbitration tribunals. We advise our clients with a strategic and business-oriented approach that encompasses the litigation itself, as well as the pre-litigation phase and the subsequent enforcement of the final decision.
Our experience includes litigation before the civil and commercial courts at all levels, in both declaratory proceedings and provisional measures, preliminary proceedings, and the enforcement of judgments. We also advise both creditors and debtors in insolvency matters, including insolvency proceedings, pre-insolvency scenarios, and restructuring processes. We have extensive experience in Spanish litigation with a foreign element, including issues relating to applicable law, international service of process, the taking of foreign evidence, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. We have a strong track record in civil cassation appeals before the Spanish Supreme Court.
We also have broad experience in domestic and international commercial arbitration. We act regularly before the main arbitral institutions —ICC, CIAM, CAM, CEA, and CIMA— where we also serve as arbitrators. We can identify and select the most suitable arbitrators for each proceeding. Our comprehensive service includes court proceedings in support and control of arbitration, such as actions to set aside awards, applications for the appointment of arbitrators, and the exequatur of foreign awards.
Our approach extends to prevention, negotiation, and preparation. During the pre-litigation phase, we seek to avert disputes through the exploration of settlement options and the use of alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or independent expert determination. We offer mediators accredited by the Ministry of Justice, which enables us to offer a dual perspective both as mediators and as counsel in business mediations. The pre-litigation phase also allows us to lay the groundwork for any subsequent litigation through case-document review, early evidence gathering, and the adoption of appropriate preparatory measures.
