Yuri Mantilla

I am a member of the international arbitration and public international law groups of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP. I am based in Paris, and I have worked on shorter periods from the firm’s Washington, DC, Madrid, New York, Moscow, Vienna, and Munich offices.

Prior to joining Freshfields, I trained in Geneva with the World Trade Organisation (Legal Affairs Division), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the arbitration group of a leading Swiss law firm. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French.

I have represented governments and private parties in a broad range of cases, having acted as counsel and assistant to arbitral tribunals in proceedings under the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, CAM Santiago, and CRCICA rules that involved construction, energy, infrastructure, and natural resources projects in Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. I have also accumulated significant experience in State-to-State disputes before the International Court of Justice and World Trade Organisation.
