Latin Lawyer 250, singles out Von Wobeser y Sierra's arbitration practice as one of the best options in Mexico.

The Mexican firm's expert evidence helped KBR enforce an eye-popping US$465 million award against Pemex in the US courts.

GAR's sister guide to law firms in Latin America, Latin Lawyer 250, singles out Von Wobeser y Sierra's arbitration practice as one of the best options in Mexico - thanks, largely, it says, to the impressive international profile of the firm's founder, Claus von Wobeser. It's hard to disagree. On top of multiple bar association roles, von Wobeser is a vice president of the ICC Court and regularly sits as arbitrator in commercial and investor-state disputes. He has lately been on ICSID panels hearing claims against Spain, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru, Poland and Uzbekistan. In addition, he is sitting alone in a rare ICSID conciliation filed by Equatorial Guinea against CMS Energy Corporation. Adrián Magallanes, who was recently promoted to partner is considered a rising star. Another recruit, associate Victor Ruiz, used to work at the ICC Court.
