Von Wobeser y Sierra SC

Von Wobeser y Sierra, S.C. is one of the leading firms in arbitration not only in Mexico but also in Latin America. Since the firm was formed, it has been actively involved in the promotion and practice of arbitration.

The firm is an active member of all the relevant national and international arbitration institutions (International Chamber of Commerce, American Arbitration Association, CANACO, London Court of International Arbitration, CAM, etc.)

The experience of our law firm in arbitration includes any possible activity related to an arbitration procedure. As arbitrators (either Co-arbitrators or Chairman of Arbitral Tribunals) we have extensive experience. Members of our law firm participate in an average of 7 arbitrations per year.

Recent significant cases successfully conducted by Von Wobeser y Sierra include the representation of AB-InBev in an arbitration brought by Grupo Modelo and the representation of a Chemicals company, in a case initiated by another competitor.

Moreover, the Firm was involved in creating judicial precedents through a case involving Tradeco Infraestructura, S.A. de C.V. and also obtained a favorable decision before local courts for COMMISA, in an arbitration against Pemex Exploración y Producción.

We have also participated as expert witnesses in international disputes involving Mexican law.In this regard, we have been able to influence the final outcome of some arbitrations by including and explaining some legal arguments not clearly developed in early stages of the arbitrations.

Finally, we have also served as counsel to enforce before Mexican Courts, arbitration awards which were not voluntarily complied with.
