BLP advises and represents our local and international clients in all aspects of dispute resolution, with an emphasis on matters related to foreign investment and commercial transactions. BLP’s attorneys have experience in international distribution agreements, conflicts between principal and agent, civil proceedings, administrative and regulatory procedures, and many other actionable incentives for civil, commercial and criminal litigation. We are skilled as well as in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, having won significant extrajudicial settlements on important contracts and claims for non-contractual civil liability.
Our considerable experience in ADR derives from representing clients in international mediation and arbitration, such as procedures under the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade and before the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes.
