Largely Houston-based, White & Case LLP's Latin America M&A practice has made a big impression on the market in recent years. The Houston team has an extensive record in energy and power transactions, along with financial services and technology deals. Private equity and growth capital deals, particularly in the fintech sector, have become a feature of the practice, as are real estate transactions connected to nearshoring in Mexico. The Houston team naturally has a strong connection to Mexico, along with Brazil and Chile, while it has achieved further growth in Peru, Costa Rica and other jurisdictions. William Parish continues to impress in energy and power deals, recently leading the team that advised Aramco on its planned acquisition of 100 per cent of Esmax Distribución (Esmax), the diversified downstream fuels and lubricants retailer in Chile, from Southern Cross Group. Rodrigo Dominguez has a background in energy and power, and is a pivotal figure in growth capital and technology transactions. Emilio Grandío is another Latin America specialist in Houston, with an active presence in M&A and private equity. Associate Luisa Muskus also impresses.
