Luis Ernesto Peón Barriga's peers describe him as a qualified and educated litigator, committed to standing up for his clients' interests and providing them with practical, creative, and integral solutions. Luis Ernesto counsels on litigation matters with a particular focus in civil, commercial, administrative, constitutional, and insolvency proceedings.
He's also skilled in domestic and international arbitration, including judicial assistance to arbitration, before the most recognized arbitral institutions, such as ICC, ICDR, and JAMS.
Luis Ernesto concentrates on the financial sector, representing banks, financial intermediaries, and creditors in a variety of restructuring, insolvency, and collection cases before local and federal Mexican courts.
Clients regularly seek his advice and experience in the fields of civil liability, shareholders disputes, and moral damages. With his solid contentious background, he's often consulted in cases that involve disputes that claim the unconstitutionality of laws and governmental actions, especially in the context of the new paradigms of constitutional and international human rights.
Prior to joining Hogan Lovells, he worked at a prestigious Mexican firm, heading its litigation and arbitration practice. He is an active member of the Mexican chapter of the Arbitration Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce and is often invited to speak at his alma mater for post-graduate studies related to civil, commercial, arbitration, and procedural law. Since August 2016, Luis Ernesto has been a professor of Derecho Procesal Civil (Civil Procedural Law) at Universidad Iberoamericana.
He has been systematically recognized by specialized publications in the field of litigation and dispute resolutions in the region.
