Based in New York, Lorena Guzmán-Díaz is an associate in the firm’s Litigation group. She advises both sovereign states and private-sector entities on a wide range of commercial litigation matters.
Ms. Guzmán-Díaz has experience with complex commercial disputes, including debtor-creditor litigation, and international arbitration, particularly with respect to treaty interpretation and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in U.S. courts. While her practice focuses primarily on the nuances of international litigation and arbitration, Ms. Guzmán-Díaz has also advised clients on matters relating to compliance with the U.S. economic sanctions regimes administered by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Prior to joining Curtis, Ms. Guzmán-Díaz served as a law clerk to the Honorable C. Darnell Jones, II of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Before graduating from American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL) in 2019, she served as Articles Editor of both the American University Law Review and the Arbitration Brief. She also interned at the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and participated in AUWCL’s Criminal Justice Clinic.
Ms. Guzmán-Díaz is a native of Puerto Rico, where she developed a lifelong appreciation of art, music, and culture. She is fluent in both Spanish and English, and she has intermediate conversational skills in French.
