Ms. de Cara has 12 years of experience advising corporations and financial institutions on a wide range of arbitration and litigation matters in the fields of civil, corporate and insolvency law, with a particular focus on directors’ liability, indemnities and breach of contracts matters. She has extensive experience dealing with Non-Performing Loan (NPL) portfolios and has represented clients in several criminal proceedings before the Spanish criminal courts, primarily related to intellectual property rights and white-collar crimes.
“Marta has broad experience in cross-border litigation and international arbitration proceedings, including international investment arbitration before the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes, commercial arbitration, and ad hoc arbitration proceedings,” said Sion Richards, who leads Jones Day’s Global Disputes Practice. “This experience strengthens our capabilities to serve our clients who are facing complex commercial disputes around the world.”
At Jones Day, Ms. de Cara joins a team of more than 200 lawyers in the Global Disputes Practice, who are located in more than 25 business centers worldwide. The group serves clients in some of the most challenging jurisdictions around the world and in some of the highest-value disputes in those jurisdictions.
