Norton Rose Fulbright's global standing in international arbitration brings it enormous credibility in Latin America cases. It has an excellent record in the energy sector, along with infrastructure, mining, transport and life sciences disputes. Teams from Houston, Washington DC, New York and London work closely with colleagues in São Paulo and Mexico City to handle a caseload well-balanced between investment and commercial arbitrations; the group has extensive experience in ICSID and UNCITRAL cases, along with the enforcement of arbitral awards. Global head of arbitration Mark Baker and US head of arbitration Kevin O’Gorman are deeply experienced figures in Latin America disputes; both are based in Houston. Matthew Kirtland heads the Washington DC arbitration team, where senior counsel Courtney Hikawa - who joined in 2023 from Sidley Austin LLP - stands out for her investor-state arbitration expertise.
