Headed by the excellent Fernando Mantilla-Serran, Latham & Watkins‘ Paris-based arbitration practice stands out for its excellent Latin American practice, that recently translated into several victories on behalf of its key client Colombia in high-stake disputes raising major environmental issues. Often supported by the firm’s other international offices, the Parisian practice also handles a good amount of commercial arbitration, notably in relation to the pharmaceutical sector. Associates Esperanza Barrón-Baratech and Diego Romero provide additional support.
