Resolving disputes with technical skill and strategy, outside the courts
The Arbitration practice of R&A Asociados handles the prevention, management, and resolution of disputes through alternatives to court litigation. We advise and represent Mexican and foreign clients in highly complex arbitral proceedings, both institutional and ad hoc, with a technical strategy tailored to each case and aimed at protecting their interests efficiently.
Our work ranges from drafting arbitration clauses and designing dispute resolution policies to representation before institutions such as CANACO (Mexico City National Chamber of Commerce), CAM (Mexico Arbitration Center), the ICC, the LCIA, or ICSID, as well as advice on the enforcement or setting aside of awards before Mexican courts. We also assist parties in mediation and conciliation when a negotiated solution is more suitable than contentious proceedings. From Playa del Carmen, we handle matters in the Riviera Maya and cross-border disputes.

Frequently asked questions
Arbitration is an alternative to court litigation in which the parties, through an arbitration clause or arbitration agreement, submit their dispute to one or more arbitrators. It usually offers greater specialization, confidentiality, and procedural flexibility, and concludes with an award that can be enforced through the courts. If you would like to know whether it suits your case, we invite you to schedule a consultation with the firm.
Mexico is a party to the 1958 New York Convention, which allows foreign arbitral awards to be recognized and enforced by Mexican courts, subject to the requirements and grounds for refusal set out in the Convention. The procedure requires a technical review of the award and of the underlying documentation. We would be pleased to review your case in an initial consultation.
Mediation is a voluntary procedure in which an impartial third party helps the parties reach an agreement, which is formalized in a mediated settlement agreement with follow-up on its performance. It is usually considered before initiating litigation or arbitration, when there is an interest in preserving the business relationship and reducing time and costs. If you are facing a dispute, we invite you to schedule a consultation to assess this option.
