José Manuel García Represa, a Spanish
national based in Dechert’s Paris office, focuses his
practice on international investment and commercial
arbitration, particularly on cases involving Latin America
and Spain. Since joining Dechert as a senior associate in
2008, Mr. García Represa has been a major contributor to the
development of the firm’s Latin American practice, which is
headed by Eduardo Silva Romero. Mr. García Represa played a
central role in some 10 investment treaty arbitrations in
Latin America since 2008 on behalf of both host sovereign
states (such as Ecuador and Bolivia) and investors. On the
commercial side, he was a key contributor in Dechert’s
successful representation of France Telecom in its
multibillion dollar ICC arbitration against Egyptian company
Orascom Telecom.
Mr. García Represa has extensive experience in cases
involving multiple jurisdictions and procedural rules and
has appeared before ICC, ICSID and ad hoc-UNCITRAL arbitral
tribunals. He has handled cases for governments as well as
private clients/investors in a variety of industries,
including oil and gas (upstream and midstream), mining,
telecommunications, auto-parts distribution, airport
management/construction, civil engineering, shareholder and
post-M&A purchase price adjustment disputes, retail and
fashion design. In addition, he has lectured on
international commercial and investment arbitration in
Europe and Latin America.
A graduate of the Complutense University of Madrid (2000)
and the Sorbonne University of Paris I (2000), Mr. García
Represa also holds a DESS in International Commercial Law
from the Sorbonne University of Paris I (2001, La Caixa
Scholar) and an LL.M. from Columbia University in New York
(2003, Fulbright Scholar), where he received the Parker
School Certificate in International Law. Mr. García Represa
is admitted to the Madrid, Paris and New York Bars. He is
fluent in English, Spanish and French.
