Latin America: International firms > Corporate and M&A
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP has an established Latin America team with its M&A expertise primarily located in Houston. It is noted for its energy expertise in Mexico, Brazil and other nations in the region. The core Latin America group has a number of senior practitioners that are licensed to practice in the US and a Latin America jurisdiction. It has links to large Latin American corporates, multinationals and private equity houses. Having historically focused on outbound transactions from North America into Latin America, it is now increasingly active on inbound work; a case in point was its advice to Grupo Lala US (a subsidiary of the Mexico-based dairy products manufacturing business), on regulatory and corporate matters relating to its operations in the US. More broadly, the group remains recognised for oil and gas, LNG, technology and telecoms transactions in the region. Co-chair of the Latin America group and Bolivian native John Crespo is a senior figure with a fine reputation in oil and gas transactions. Admitted to practice in Mexico, New York and Texas, Humberto Padilla Gonzalez is an experienced figure in strategic M&A and private equity in Mexico and across Latin America. Brazil educated, Felipe Alice is also noted for oil and gas transactions and has a growing profile in technology deals. Washington DC partner and native Spanish speaker Ulises Pin is a TMT specialist, particularly in relation to telecoms and fibre optics transactions. Named individuals are based in Houston unless stated otherwise.
Latin America: International firms > Projects and energy
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP’s Latin America team is largely based in Houston, where the group has an impressive record in energy projects and transactions, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, along with other jurisdictions including Argentina, Bolivia and Dominican Republic. It continues to represent a range of project sponsors, financial institutions, governments and private equity investors. With a background primarily in oil and gas, the Latin America team has gradually -and successfully- broadened its mix of engagements to include power and renewables, and telecoms-infrastructure matters. Co-chair of the Latin America group John Crespo, a native Spanish speaker, has a fine reputation for oil and gas transactions. Brazilian Felipe Alice is also rated for hydrocarbons work, and Humberto Padilla Gonzalez is an experienced figure in Mexico energy transactions. Washington DC’s Ulises Pin specialises in communications infrastructure, including satellite and subsea cable projects. All partners are based in Houston unless stated otherwise.
