We represent clients based throughout Latin America in matters across the region, as well as in the United States, Asia and Europe. Our practice is structured to give our clients unsurpassed access to our lawyers.
Our team draws on the extensive resources of the firm’s international reach, working together seamlessly from Sidley’s offices around the globe and within multiple areas of the firm’s practice.
We are committed to providing high quality legal services and to developing long-lasting relationships with our clients. Sidley is a recommended International Firm in the 2018 edition of the Latin Lawyer 250. We were named one of the “Latinvex (2016): Latin America’s Top Law Firms”, “Latin America M&A’s: Top 25 Legal Advisors” and “Top Energy Firms” by Latinvex, a publication that focuses on business in Latin America, and listed among the leading law firms for Latin America cases at The World Bank’s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in 2015.
“Very high-quality service. This is one of our preferred firms for important transactions."
Chambers Global, Latin America-Wide 2018
Our lawyers have been consistently recognized by Chambers Latin America across many practice areas, including Corporate/M&A, Banking & Finance, Capital Markets, Energy and Natural Resources and International Arbitration.
Our team is also recognized by Legal 500 Latin America in the areas of Projects & Energy, Corporate/M&A, Banking & Finance, Capital Markets and International Arbitration. Sources have told that publication:
“Sidley Austin LLP ‘is among the best; it is extraordinary’.”
In recent years, we increased our transactional, regulatory and litigation capabilities in Latin America, particularly in the energy, project development and finance and communications sectors, with the opening and expansion of our Houston office. Additionally, we further expanded our reach into Latin America with the addition of two teams of lawyers in Dallas who focus on litigation and private equity and include several members who are native Spanish speakers and have active practices in Latin America. Latin America is a strategic area for Sidley, so we will continue to look for opportunities to grow and invest in the region.
