Arnold & Porter remains at the forefront of sovereign finance, representing a range of sovereign governments in Latin America, along with the Republic of Turkey and Hungary. The firm also represents sub-sovereigns and state-owned enterprises, along with a number of financial institutions in global offerings. Although much of the practice centres on debt offerings, it also crosses into the structured finance and derivatives domains. Washington DC partners Whitney Debevoise and Gregory Harrington are leaders in Latin America sovereign offerings, while New York-based Christopher Peterson is a regular adviser to the Republic of Turkey.
