Experience

Francisco González de Cossio’s expertise in arbitration was nurtured directly from the CC Court of International Arbitration and leading international arbitration firms in the U.S. and France.

His experience in diverse types of arbitration, ADR and dispute ettlement proceedings — ranging from ordinary commercial arbitrations, to ICSID, intellectual property, sport arbitrations, and litigation before the International Court of Justice— have earned him a reputation as a connoisseur with an international profile.

Dr. González de Cossío is frequently asked to act as advocate of domestic and international cases. Sitting as arbitrator in complex, construction, energy, maritime and intellectual property disputes has become a habit; as well as acting as expert witness in the same.
