Litigation and arbitration

We represent our clients in crucial litigation and arbitration in the region. Whether it is in court or arbitral forum regionally or abroad, our team has the expertise and knowledge to defend our clients’ rights and positions, when problems arise. 

At Mayora & Mayora, we favor settling a dispute outside of the courtroom, due to the legal uncertainty in judicial institutions in Central America. If an agreement cannot be reached between the parties involved, we resolve the case in the quickest, most beneficial way possible to the client. 

Our experience is broad, spanning from defending against and filing administrative actions for one of the largest energy distributors in Central America against municipalities and government agencies, to representing one of the biggest telecoms in administrative and contract disputes with millions of dollars of damages at stake. We represent clients on an on-going basis in complex commercial lawsuits, and labor disputes, such as mandated severance payments and other guaranteed labor benefits.   

In the arbitration domain, Mayora & Mayora brings decades of seasoned experience both in representing clients as well as acting as expert witnesses, regionally and abroad. The firm has particular knowledge in arbitrations for the energy and telecommunications industries, in addition to an unmatched expertise in foreign investment claims. 

Our focus in this practice area revolves mainly around the following types of disputes:
