Hogan Lovells' Latin America practice serves corporations, governments, and other entities planning to establish or increase their presence in this dynamic market, as well as local entities seeking to expand into other parts of the world. Hogan Lovells is one of the few firms able to provide counsel that is keenly attuned to the region's civil law system and political landscape, while at the same time leveraging the knowledge and resources of a market-leading global law firm.

The group includes multicultural lawyers from our offices in Miami, Madrid, Caracas, Washington, D.C., Houston, and New York who have strong backgrounds in corporate, business and regulatory law, arbitration, litigation, project finance, and energy. Clients rely on us for a broad array of country-specific and cross-border services, and particularly for transactions, proceedings, and matters that cross at the intersection of business and government. We offer services in Spanish, English, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and call upon longstanding relationships with highly regarded counsel throughout Latin America to provide additional support as needed. Members of the group regularly receive top rankings from Chambers Latin America, Latin Lawyer, Euromoney's Project Finance magazine, and Global Arbitration Review.
