Legalsa

Legalsa's well-rounded dispute resolution practice is 'second to none', and covers the full spectrum of administrative, civil, commercial, criminal and constitutional litigation, and national and international arbitration. Equally adept at handling domestic and cross-border mandates, the team enjoys a particularly strong reputation for representing some of Guatemala’s largest corporate groups in high-stakes shareholder disputes, while white-collar and tax criminal defence and cases concerning government procurement and concessions are also core areas of expertise. Henry Comte, who is highly regarded for his experience in all facets of civil and criminal litigation and arbitration, leads the sizeable team alongside Alejandro Penados, a high-profile name for corporate, regulatory and IP disputes, and Marisol Fión, whose broad practice takes in administrative, civil and commercial litigation and arbitration. Key names at the senior associate level include Andrés Dubón, who is skilled in civil and commercial disputes as well as criminal litigation; Julia González, an expert in environmental, tax and white-collar crime cases; and Juan Carlos Alvizúrez, a specialist in disputes in the telecoms sector.
