What the team is known for

Latham & Watkins is known for its ability to tackle large-scale multi-jurisdictional matters, both within the region and beyond it, in the Middle East, Africa and the USA. The team undertakes mandates in the energy and natural resources sphere and has a strong track record in related project finance transactions, where it works closely with major developers and construction companies as well as ECAs and commercial banks. Latham & Watkins' long-standing expertise in Korean projects and infrastructure matters is enhanced by its presence on the ground in Seoul, and the team forms part of a global network which includes a number of lawyers with Korean language capabilities.
