Founder

Christian F. Zinser Cieslik

Graduated from Universidad Anáhuac del Norte with a Bachelor of Laws and received a Master of Business Law, with honors, from Universidad Panamericana and a Master of Constitutional Law and Human Rights from the Centro de Estudios Juridicos Carbonell. With over 20 years of professional experience, Christian has specialized in handling delicate arbitration procedures as well as civil, commercial, and family disputes. He is passionate about financial, technology and damages disputes, particularly those including moral and punitive damages.

He has participated in high-profile cases, which in some cases involved several international jurisdictions with extensive media coverage. He has advised the Mexican Congress and defended relevant cases on freedom of expression and moral damages.

Certain that most legal crises can be resolved, he favors dialogue, addressing not only disputed matters but also the human and business aspects that caused the dispute and those that surround it —which has allowed him as a mediator to successfully resolve disputes that in appearance where irreconcilable— but with the firm determination of fighting cases and arbitration to their last consequences when representing one of the parties. He is also a Board Member of several companies that require his legal input and general business advice. He is currently serving as First Secretary of the Board of Advisors of the Ilustre y Nacional Colegio de Abogados (INCAM), where he also serves as General Coordinator of Private Law and as a member of the Board of advisers of the Pro Bono Law Firm. He is an active member of the Barra Mexicana de Abogados (BMA), the Asociación Nacional de Abogados de Empresa (ANADE), the International Association of Lawyers (UIA), the American Bar Association (ABA), and the Arbitration Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
