Our team helps companies and investors enter new markets, advance inbound and outbound investments and projects, and resolve legal and regulatory challenges throughout Latin America. We guide our clients through the political, economic, and legal frameworks in each Latin American jurisdiction to help them maximize opportunities for growth. Our comprehensive and multilingual practice knows the region and cultures, speaks the languages, and understands the idiosyncrasies of each country. 

Our multidisciplinary team includes more than 70 lawyers around the globe, including in key hubs for Latin American business – Miami, New York, Houston, London, and Washington D.C. Our team members are either dual-qualified to practice in the U.S. and the region, or steeped in the local business community through decades of working there. Our track record and our vast network of trusted local counsel and connections give our clients a competitive edge when doing business in Latin America. 

We transform our clients’ vision into results in Latin America by: 

• Helping clients avoid and resolve disputes related to projects and investments in the region. We assist clients in structuring their investments to achieve their business objectives no matter how complex and challenging the landscape becomes. When a dispute is unavoidable, we play to win, and do win, working closely with clients throughout the dispute cycle so their interests are always top of mind. Our top-ranked International Arbitration Practice built its name in Latin America and has handled more than 100 arbitrations in the region. 
• Structuring and executing clients’ ground-breaking transactions in the region. We have closed hundreds of transactions for regionally focused clients, including cutting-edge transportation and social infrastructure, telecommunications, energy, and natural resource projects. Our work encompasses the full spectrum of a project’s lifecycle, including structuring, planning, development, financing, construction, and operation. In addition to these projects, our transactional work in the region covers a broad array of corporate matters including, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, as well as corporate reorganizations and out-of-court debt restructurings. 
• Guiding clients through complex public-private partnerships.  We have extensive experience working with governments designing PPP frameworks and concessions and identifying and analyzing the risks and rewards associated with these long-term partnerships. 
• Navigating complex compliance issues across multiple Latin American jurisdictions. This includes handling government civil and criminal investigations, internal corporate investigations, white-collar criminal defense, and compliance counseling. In addition, we advise on sensitive trade policy, economic sanctions, customs, cybersecurity, and IP matters in the region.
