Reed Smith LLP

Reed Smith LLP's Miami office is central to its Latin America practice, particularly in relation to international arbitration and cross-border litigation. The firm’s worldwide international arbitration practice has grown significantly in relation to the aggregate value of cases on an annual basis, with a large portion of this stemming from Latin America disputes. It continues to handle cases under ICSID, ICC, and other institutional rules for numerous corporate clients, especially those in the energy, infrastructure and commodities sectors. The Miami team is also recognised for white-collar crime and investigations, antitrust disputes and bankruptcy cases. Senior counsel José Astigarraga remains one of the most illustrious international arbitration practitioners in the Latin America arena. Francisco Rodriguez is making a further impression in international arbitration, including investor-state arbitrations against Latin American states. Gilberto Guerrero-Rocca is another integral member of the international arbitration team in Miami, along with Ed Mullins, who covers international arbitration and cross-border litigation. From the associate ranks, native Spanish speaker Ana Ulseth provides vital support.
