  • Sofía is an associate at Von Wobeser y Sierra. She has over twelve years of experience in civil, commercial, administrative, and constitutional litigation. She is also part of the Arbitration and Energy & Natural Resources practices.


    Sofía has represented national and international clients in complex litigation and arbitration, participating in significant commercial arbitrations under leading institutions such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), as well as in ad hoc cases.

    Her practice has primarily focused on litigation related to shareholder disputes, civil and commercial procedures, as well as contractual and regulatory conflicts in the energy sector. The representation of her clients is executed in a preventive manner, from the contractual and corporate part to the initiation and termination of contentious proceedings. She has defended the interests of various groups affected by energy reforms through amparo actions, promoting citizen participation as a counterbalance and means of defense, achieving significant legislative impacts.

    Additionally, Sofía has experience in all stages of litigation proceedings, as well as in those that assist arbitration proceedings including injunctive relief, and the enforcement or annulment of arbitral awards, providing comprehensive defense in various types of disputes.
