Launched in January 2024, Wordstone Dispute Resolution AARPI is a specialist boutique led by former Dechert LLP partners - and recognised market leaders - Eduardo Silva Romero ('brilliant mind') and José Manuel García Represa ('one of the smartest lawyers'). The Paris-based group has an established record in investment and commercial arbitrations, and has a major focus on Latin America. The team is widely recognised for its investor-state experience, representing a range of sovereign and state entities in big ticket international mandates. 'Outstandingly positioned to take on defences in Latin America', it continues to act for the Republic of Colombia, Republic of Guatemala, Argentine Republic, Plurinational State of Bolivia and Republic of Paraguay in major cases. The firm also acts for private companies in claims against sovereign states and entities. 'Exceptional talent' Catalina Echeverri Gallego became a partner on the launch of the firm; and experienced associate Javier Echeverri is also noted.

  • ‘The Wordstone team, headed by prominent lawyer Eduardo Silva Romero, has the ability to transform complex state positions into simple, meaningful narratives, and above all, grounded in the realities that public entities and states face when participating in the dynamics of globalised trade. Given its composition, the Wordstone team is outstandingly positioned to take on defences in Latin America.’

  • ‘Wordstone has two truly lethal weapons. The duo Eduardo Silva Romero and José Manuel García Represa has few rivals in the global legal market. We trust Eduardo Silva Romero to convey complex messages and José Manuel García Represa to demonstrate, through forceful cross-examination, any contradiction in the counterpart's case. Both skills are absolutely necessary when defending multimillion-dollar cases.’
