Sidley Austin LLP

Sidley Austin LLP has a core team of experienced Latin America specialists in Houston, primarily with a focus on oil and gas, LNG, power, renewables and energy transition, benefitting further from the firm’s efforts to grow its presence in LNG and renewables in New York and Washington DC.
