Hogan Lovells US LLP

Hogan Lovells US LLP has a massive presence in international arbitration, in relation to both the investment and commercial spheres. With Latin America-focused arbitration practitioners in its Miami, New York, Mexico City, Madrid and Paris offices, the firm has a long history of representing both Latin American states and investors launching claims against sovereign entities; it has also achieved considerable growth in commercial arbitration. The multi-lingual and multi-cultural team has a number of practitioners that are dual-licensed in the US and a Latin American jurisdiction, providing in depth knowledge of common and civil law systems; many department members are also experienced advocates. Richard Lorenzo and Daniel González are hugely experienced in big-ticket Latin America arbitrations. Maria Ramirez is another increasingly prominent figure, while counsel Juliana de Valdenebro Garrido, a Colombian native, is an up-and-comer of note. New York’s Oliver Armas, global head of international arbitration at the firm, is a fluent Spanish and Portuguese speaker and has a background in major Latin America cases, including in Brazil. Paris based Melissa Ordonez is French/Colombian, and has a strong focus on Latin America, including ICC arbitration cases. All named individuals are based in Miami unless stated otherwise.
