Our team offers deep corporate experience for clients in regulated and nonregulated industries. We represent private equity funds in real estate joint ventures throughout the region. We have handled numerous acquisitions and restructurings in the energy, mining, telecommunications, transportation and shipping industries. We have represented international financial institutions in a number of corporate financings, restructurings, and distressed investments in the oil and gas, health care, hospitality, transportation and other sectors in the Caribbean and Latin America that funded corporate expansion, acquisitions, restructurings and working capital.

Energy

We combine a powerful energy practice with deep experience in Latin America. Our experience extends across the electric power, renewable energy, and oil and gas sectors. We have represented oil field service companies in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Our renewables work has included wind power generation projects in Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.

Litigation, Compliance and International Arbitration

We help our clients manage risk and compliance in an often challenging political environment. For a Fortune 500 heavy equipment manufacturer, we conducted an internal investigation of a whistleblower allegation that its Mexican subsidiary violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) by bribing Mexican officials to help win bids for sales of equipment to a number of government entities. In a recent whistleblower retaliation case, we counseled an international financial institution in connection with Sarbanes-Oxley complaints regarding fraudulent and unlawful activities occurring in a number of Latin American countries. We offer Latin American companies one of the top-ranked U.S. litigation platforms equipped to help resolve all types of commercial disputes.
