White & Case LLP

White & Case LLP‘s Houston office is frequently the first port of call for global corporations seeking advice on cross-border M&A transactions involving Latin America, housing an experienced team of practitioners with a strong profile in energy, power, infrastructure and technology sector deals, and a growing presence in the retail and consumer goods industries. While Mexico remains a core area of focus, over the last year the group has handled matters in an array of jurisdictions, with Brazil, Chile and Peru among them. William Parish is a standout name for energy-related transactions in Latin America; his recent workload includes advising EIG Global Energy Partners on the restructuring of a Chile-based power and gas infrastructure company. Rodrigo Dominguez Sotomayor (who divides his time between the Houston, New York and Mexico City offices) and Emilio Grandío are also well regarded for their expertise in cross-border transactions in sectors such as energy and technology, including assisting Klar with the acquisition of a Mexican fintech. Steven Otillar has a wealth of experience in energy project development and financing, with particularly in-depth knowledge of offshore energy projects. In addition, the deep associate bench includes Luisa Muskus, who is well versed in M&A and private equity investments, with an emphasis on Latin America, and Adrian Leal, who focuses on corporate and project finance transactions in the region. All are fluent Spanish speakers.
