Latin America 2027

We’re delighted to announce that the Legal 500 Latin America 2027 rankings are now live, following their publication on 28th October 2026.

As ever, the 2027 guide is the result of many months of research, covering countries from Mexico down to the Southern Cone and taking in some 19 jurisdictions. After evaluating more than 7,500 submissions and contacting almost 90,000 referees, not to mention conducting thousands of interviews with lawyers from across the region, the results are in.

This year’s guide sees over 1,800 firms achieve more than 5,000 firm rankings across more than 280 practice areas. It also features more than 7,000 ranked lawyers, including 700 members of the Hall of Fame; more than 3,000 Leading Partners; nearly 1,500 Next Generation Partners; and a further 1,500 Leading Associates.

Across the region this includes more than 200 newly ranked firms; and while Brazil accounts for a third of these, Chile, Colombia and Mexico have also contributed strongly to this growth, as have a number of new coverage areas including transportation (both aviation and shipping) across various jurisdictions, Data Privacy, for Colombia; and Public law and government procurement, in Mexico.

In Brazil, the number of firm rankings jumped from just over 1,300 to more than 1,450 spread across some 35 practice areas and 11 City focus sections. Over 1,200 partners achieved individual rankings (including 86 who secured Hall of Fame status), along with a further 180 Leading Associates.

Suffice to say, wherever legal services are required across the region, Legal 500 Latin America is here to assist with your needs. To all our readers, we thank you for choosing to make Legal 500 your trusted resource for market insight.
