Pérez-Llorca adds Felipe Nazar as Partner in New York  

Nazar will be part of the firm’s global international arbitration team and will strengthen the firm’s disputes practice in the Americas
 

Pérez-Llorca has announced the appointment of Felipe Nazar as a partner in its New York office, led by Javier Gómez.

Specialising in international disputes, he joins Pérez-Llorca´s global international arbitration team to strengthen the Firm’s work on litigation matters in the Americas.

In the words of Félix J. Montero, Litigation and Arbitration partner at Pérez-Llorca "Felipe’s incorporation advances the Firm’s commitment to international growth. With his arrival, the Firm strengthens a strategic area and reinforces the international arbitration practice and the relationship with our Latin American clients".

Nazar, who is admitted to practice in Chile and New York, has more than fifteen years of experience advising clients on investment planning, contract negotiation and dispute resolution at all stages. Prior to joining Pérez-Llorca, Nazar developed his career at White & Case and Covington & Burling in New York and Washington, D.C. respectively, as well as at Chilean firm Cariola Diez Perez-Cotapos.

His experience covers a broad spectrum of commercial litigation and arbitration in areas such as post-merger and post-acquisition adjustments, joint ventures, shareholder agreements, engineering, construction, mining and public concessions. He also advises investors and states on investment arbitrations, particularly in sectors related to energy, infrastructure, insurance, pensions and financial services. Since 2023, he has been a member of the foreign arbitrators’ register of the Medellín Chamber of Commerce’s Conciliation, Arbitration and Amicable Composition Centre.

This incorporation reinforces Pérez-Llorca’s global international arbitration team, which is one of the Firm’s major strategic commitments and one of the Firm’s growth areas at the moment.

Made up of lawyers of different nationalities, this team has extensive experience in advising multinationals in arbitration in Europe, Latin America and Asia. Its members have participated in numerous arbitrations before the main international and national arbitration institutions such as ICC, ICSID, LCIA, CAM Santiago, Centro Internacional de Arbitraje de Madrid (CIAM), among others.

This incorporation coincides with the expansion of Pérez-Llorca’s New York office, which will double its space in the coming months in the emblematic Seagram Building on Park Avenue. The building, designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, has been the office’s operational base since its opening in 2015.
