King & Spalding LLP

King & Spalding LLP's commitment to Latin America has grown enormously in recent years and is evident in the number of Houston-based practitioners that have a focus on the region. From construction and project development to white-collar crime and investigations, and international arbitration, Latin America is very much central to the Houston office’s practice. Indeed, the firm’s Latin America international arbitration work stands far ahead of all competitors in Houston, operating at the forefront of commercial and investment treaty arbitration; the team features a number of Latin American natives and senior practitioners who are fluent in Spanish and/or Portuguese. Partners Doak Bishop, who is co-head of the international arbitration practice group, along with Roberto Aguirre Luzi and Craig Miles, the co-heads of Latin America international arbitration, are all seasoned practitioners that have specialised in the region for years; Miles now splits his time between Houston and the firm’s nascent Miami office. Fernando Rodriguez-Cortina is an emerging talent in international arbitration, especially in Mexico cases, and has also been active on other recent matters involving Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Scott Greer leads the global construction and energy transactional practice; he has an established record in Latin America matters, especially in oil and gas, LNG, petrochemicals, power and mining. David Lang is another key figure in LNG projects, while Brandt Liebe provides further senior expertise in white-collar defence, investigations and compliance matters.
