In addition to the firm’s practice ratings, the following firm lawyers were recognized individually:

Latin Lawyer praised the firm’s consistent flow of work in Latin America and highlighted Hunton’s “long-standing relationships with multilateral institutions such as the International Finance corporation and IDB Invest,” which set the firm apart from competitors.
“[Hunton’s] deep expertise in working with development banks makes it a natural fit for sustainable investment transactions, of which there is no shortage in Latin America,” the publication wrote. “The firm has helped push the boundaries in this space, advising on debt-for-nature swaps and bond issuances linked to gender equality targets in Colombia. Beyond its successful banking and finance practice, the firm’s capital markets, project finance, and M&A teams are also taking on an increasing volume of regional work.”
Hunton has an established and diverse Latin America practice. For more than 30 years, its team of experienced lawyers and consultants has represented clients ranging from global financial institutions and multinational corporations, to local governments, agencies, and prominent Latin American families.
