Our experience
PPO Indacochea has specialist teams in domestic and international arbitration, civil and commercial litigation, appeals before higher courts and alternative dispute resolution. The firm represents Bolivian and international companies in high-complexity matters across regulated economic sectors.
Arbitration
Arbitration is the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for domestic and international companies in high-complexity transactions, contracts with public entities and operations in regulated sectors. Effective arbitration defence requires integrating legal judgment, sector-specific expertise and procedural experience before the leading arbitral centres.
PPO Indacochea represents companies in both domestic and international arbitration proceedings, acting for claimants and respondents alike. The team participates in proceedings administered by the Conciliation and Arbitration Centre of the Santa Cruz Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the National Chamber of Commerce, as well as ICC arbitrations and proceedings under other international rules.
Our experience includes arbitrations in contractual, corporate, investment, construction, energy and mining matters, as well as pre-claim strategy, review of arbitration clauses and design of defence strategies.
Appeals and Final Instance Proceedings
Appeals and final instance proceedings represent the last opportunity to correct errors of law or fact that may determine the outcome of a judicial or administrative process. In this type of proceeding, legal precision and experience before higher courts are decisive.
PPO Indacochea represents companies in appeals, cassation proceedings, hierarchical administrative appeals and actions before the Supreme Court of Justice and the Agro-Environmental Court, as well as unconstitutionality claims and amparo actions before the Plurinational Constitutional Court.
Our experience covers appeals in civil, commercial, labour, tax and administrative matters, with a consolidated practice in the preparation of substantive briefs and oral advocacy before the higher courts of the Bolivian judicial system.
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation covers a wide spectrum of disputes relating to contracts, property rights, civil liability, family law and succession, among other matters. In Bolivia, the effective management of these proceedings requires both substantive legal knowledge and the ability to navigate the relevant courts efficiently.
PPO Indacochea represents domestic and international companies in civil litigation of varying kinds, from contractual disputes to civil liability claims, real actions and enforcement proceedings. Our practice is supported by teams present in Bolivia’s main cities.
Our experience includes ordinary and summary proceedings, enforcement actions, interim measures, enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments, as well as management of complex multi-party or multi-jurisdictional disputes.
Commercial Litigation
Commercial litigation covers disputes arising from mercantile contracts, commercial transactions, corporate obligations, financial instruments and inter-company relationships. In high-value or complex transactions, effective judicial representation can be as decisive as prior negotiation.
PPO Indacochea represents companies in commercial disputes before the civil and commercial courts, as well as in higher instances. The team works in close coordination with the Corporate, M&A and Finance practices when disputes arise from transactional matters.
Our experience includes claims for breach of contract, liability for latent defects, challenges to corporate resolutions, disputes in financing and security arrangements, claims for damages and losses, and disputes arising in the context of M&A transactions.
