Aldo José Ocampo Castañares

ALDO OCAMPO C.. Esq.

Insurance and reinsurance lawyer with a +25 years practice.

Today I am the leading partner of the Insurance and Reinsurance practice in Ocampo 1890 and personally I am ranked in Band 2, by Chambers & Partners Latin America’s Insurance Practice. My practice is also acknowledged by Legal 500.

My practice was born within contentious insurance matters (property, casualty and liability). Then evolved to represent insurers and reinsurers in Mexico, with Regulatory matters that finally lead the practice to handle corporate matters too. Today I lead the widest Insurance Law practice in Mexico as my form covers Regulatory, Corporate and Contentious insurance and reinsurance matters. I am a licensed lawyer to register insurance contracts in Mexico. That means that I draft insurance contracts from scratch, according to insurers needs along with the reinsurers’ policies so the contract covers risks from the insurer, cedent and retrocedent.

The added value of my work is my contentious view.

I also advise clients regarding liability contingencies in Mexico and non-Common Law countries in Latin America.

My experience in contentious matters is wide. I have been litigating insurance and reinsurance cases always, including complex litigations settlement.

In the corporate field, I lead a proactive team that have incorporated insurers in Mexico.

My achievements: I have advised the International Development Bank in insurance matters for green credits. I developed the Bank-Insurance system to Banca Serfin, today Banco Santander. I have participated in the most complex insurance cases in Mexico.
