MIAMI — Jorge A. Mestre has been re-appointed by the President of the ABA to serve on the American Bar Association Commission on Hispanic Legal Rights and Responsibilities. The Commission works to develop initiatives, support research, and educate lawyers on serving and addressing the key legal challenges facing the Latino community in the United States.

The Commission achieved a significant accomplishment last year with a series of programs based on its report, “Latinos in the United States: Overcoming Legal Obstacles, Engaging in Civic Life.” At the 2024 ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago, Jorge joined fellow panelists to discuss the report, urging legal professionals to expand equal opportunity, noting that while Hispanics comprise nearly 20% of the U.S. population, they represent only 6% of the legal profession.

Jorge A. Mestre engages exclusively in commercial litigation practice and is Board Certified in International Litigation and Arbitration by The Florida Bar. He has litigated domestic and international arbitration matters in both English and Spanish.
