Main Areas of Practice

Sidley has maintained a valued presence in Latin America for more than 50 years. The firm represents major local and multinational companies and finan­cial institutions, private equity and other investment funds, sovereign governments, and state-owned en­terprises in a wide variety of engagements including corporate transactions; investigations, compliance, and government enforcement matters; arbitration; and litigation throughout South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Our global team has an in-depth understanding of local requirements and a perspective that spans borders. We have a deep understanding the region, not only legally, but from an economic and cultural perspective as well. Many of our lawyers are fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese. We have developed strong working relationships with local counsel in all major Latin American jurisdictions. Our team has managed transactions, crisis situations, investigations, anticorruption and compliance matters, and disputes of all sizes across the region.

Our team members are strategically located in key hubs across our global office network, namely in Miami, Dallas, and New York (important financial centers for Latin America), in Houston, the gateway to cutting-edge developments in the energy sector, and in Washington, D.C., where regulatory and enforcement regimes impact and shape global policy and standards.
