According to one client, Gutiérrez, Waugh, Jimeno & Asenjo is ‘one of the offices with the most prestige and experience in litigation’. The boutique law firm’s 21-strong dispute resolution, litigation and arbitration practice has an enviable track record for its involvement in high-stakes cases. The team acts for both local and international clients in civil and commercial litigation before courts, state agencies and arbitral tribunals; and its sector expertise encompasses construction, mining, telecoms, energy, banking, finance, insurance, and retail. The group is co-led by Pedro Pablo Gutiérrez, a highly respected civil and commercial litigation expert; and Cristóbal Jimeno, whose civil and commercial litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution experience is particularly strong as regards the financial, insurance and construction sectors. The practice further showcases Juan Francisco Asenjo, who focuses on civil and commercial litigation, along with arbitration and administrative proceedings; and civil, commercial and consumer protection litigator Alfredo Waugh. The next line of experienced partners comprises Joaquín Castillo, who is ’client oriented and a great lawyer’; Eugenio Valladares, who acts in civil, commercial, construction and corporate law litigation; and José Tomás Barros, a civil, commercial, insurance and consumer protection disputes specialist. In the associate team Sebastián Zamora is also an experienced civil and commercial litigator, while Pablo Gajardo left the firm in May 2024.
