Debevoise has been active in Latin America for nearly 50 years and over the past decade has worked on hundreds of completed transactions in the region, including some of the largest and most challenging projects. The firm’s client base includes many of the most prominent companies and families in Latin America as well as multinational corporations and private equity funds investing in the region. The firm is a recognized leader among international law firms active in Latin America.¹ Our recent work in the Latin American project finance, media and financial service sectors, as well as our litigation and arbitration practice in the region, has further solidified our reputation.

Our Latin American practice is based in New York and draws on support from our European offices. Debevoise has 14 partners, 3 counsel and 32 associates who spend a significant amount of their time on Latin American matters. Many of them speak Spanish or Portuguese. Debevoise maintains strong working relationships with leading law firms in the region, with whom we work as one team from the client’s perspective. We also regularly have international interns from major law firms in the region that work for us on a rotating basis. Our partners are active in Latin American and Spanish bars, chambers of commerce and trade associations.
