The dispute resolution and litigation department in our firm is an area of recent growth and development in the last year with lawyers that have joined the area to form a well structured and experienced area.

Paz Horowitz has represented both national and foreign companies in legal claims of different kinds, such as civil, administrative (administrative and judicial proceedings) and constitutional claims. We have also represented our clients in consumer protection matters, as well as proceedings in arbitration and other dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation.

Besides the experience in a wide range of matters, our firm and our lawyers have also litigated in all major courts all around the country as well as the major international courts such as the Commission and Court of Inter American Human Rights, and Committees of the United Nations Organization, giving us a level of experience that other firms simply cannot equal.

Therefore, our department is best known for the experience we have in handling claims of different matters and litigating in different courts, whether they are local or international. With every new case we get, an intense investigation begins on both the legal and non-legal matters of each specific claim, thus understanding the technicalities of each matter and preparing for the case.

Our practice is based on a comprehensive view of business, the company’s reputation, and external factors that may be relevant to litigations. While we analyze the possibility to have a favorable result on each claim we handle, we also advice our clients with other possible ways to solve their conflict upholding our commitment to avoiding unnecessary litigation.
