FLORIDA RECORD

The 2024 edition of the Latin Lawyer 250 guide has once again named global law firm Reed Smith as “highly recommended” for arbitration, corporate and M&A, and litigation. 

The guide, which showcases the leading business law firms focusing on Latin America, also highlights a number of the firm’s attorneys as prominent in the region:

Arbitration

• José Astigarraga (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Felipe Berer (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Eduardo De la Peña Bernal (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• James Duffy (Global Commercial Disputes, New York)
• Clément Fouchard (Energy & Natural Resources, Paris)
• Gilberto Guerro-Rocca (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Ed Mullins (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Sandra Millor (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Francisco Rodriguez (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Francisco Rivero (Energy & Natural Resources, Houston)

According to the guide’s analysis: “Reed Smith’s stellar reputation for arbitration is largely thanks to strategic lateral hires made along the way. These additions brought a wealth of experience in Latin American matters to the New York and Paris offices, which complement the core team in Miami… Reed Smith’s arbitration group stands out from its competitors for its international reach; the team covers cases seated in New York, Miami and London, as well as in several Latin American countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Peru.”

Corporate and M&A

• Efren Acosta (Global Corporate Group, Houston)
• Lee Ann Dillon (Financial Industry Group, New York)

The Latin Lawyer 250 comments: “Reed Smith has taken steps to grow its transactional offering in Latin America over the past few years and is now visible on several M&A transactions and joint ventures in the region. Work in the energy sector has been key here, especially thanks to the firm’s Houston presence.”

Litigation

• José Astigarraga (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Sandra Millor (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
• Francisco Rodriguez (Global Commercial Disputes, Miami)
