Procedural law and arbitration
Conflict resolution is one of the essential pillars of legal practice.

Our practice is distinguished by its combination of technical procedural knowledge, strategic vision, and a deep understanding of business dynamics. We know that every litigation or arbitration case not only affects the legal sphere, but can also have a significant economic, reputational, and operational impact on our clients. Therefore, we design comprehensive strategies that seek the most effective solution, whether through legal defense, negotiation, mediation, or international arbitration.
Legal services in procedural law and arbitration
Civil and commercial litigation
Civil and commercial disputes are one of the most frequent areas of judicial intervention. At ISLAW, we represent clients in claims arising from breach of contract, corporate disputes, property disputes, and enforcement of judgments. Our team is responsible for drafting complaints, responses, appeals, and all the procedural strategy necessary to defend the client’s interests at every stage of the proceedings.
Labor and social security processes
Labor disputes require swift action and specialized knowledge of applicable regulations. ISLAW defends both companies and employees in proceedings involving dismissal, wage claims, collective disputes, social security benefits, and administrative sanctions in labor matters. Our experience allows us to act in both the conciliation phase and in court proceedings, ensuring comprehensive support in this type of dispute.
Administrative and contentious-administrative law
Litigation against the Public Administration requires detailed knowledge of administrative regulations and contentious procedures. ISLAW represents clients in challenging sanctions, appeals against administrative decisions, claims for State financial liability, and defense in disciplinary proceedings. Our team acts before public bodies, administrative courts, and supervisory bodies in Spain and the Dominican Republic.
Domestic and international arbitration
Arbitration has established itself as one of the most effective mechanisms for resolving commercial disputes, especially in the international arena. ISLAW represents clients in domestic and international arbitrations administered by prestigious courts such as the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Spanish Court of Arbitration, the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), and local courts in Santo Domingo. We assist in the drafting of arbitration clauses, the preparation of statements of claim and defense, the appointment of arbitrators, and the enforcement of arbitral awards in different jurisdictions.
Mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods
In many cases, disputes can be resolved without resorting to court or arbitration. Mediation, conciliation, and assisted negotiation are tools that enable faster, more economical, and more flexible agreements to be reached. ISLAW advises its clients on the implementation of ADR clauses in contracts, organizes mediation processes, and provides support throughout the procedure to ensure that the agreements reached protect the client’s interests and are fully legally valid.
Enforcement of international judgments and awards
One of the most important challenges in international litigation is the enforcement of foreign judgments. ISLAW handles the recognition and enforcement of judgments rendered abroad in Spain and the Dominican Republic, as well as the recognition of arbitral awards under the 1958 New York Convention. Our firm ensures that decisions made in one country can be enforced in another, thus guaranteeing the effective protection of our clients’ rights.
Procedural resources and defense strategies
Procedural law requires precise knowledge of the deadlines, requirements, and remedies available in each jurisdiction. ISLAW advises on the filing of appeals, cassation appeals, amparo appeals, and review proceedings. We design strategies that focus not only on defending the specific case, but also on risk prevention and finding the most efficient solution for the client.
A multidisciplinary approach
Litigation and arbitration are rarely limited to a single branch of law. They may involve corporate, tax, labor, contractual, or international issues. That is why at ISLAW we work in an integrated manner with our specialists in commercial, tax, labor, international, and administrative law. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that each proceeding is analyzed from all its legal dimensions, increasing the chances of success and reducing collateral risks.
