Reed Smith’s name has become a familiar one across the region, and its prominence is largely due to its “unrivalled expertise in arbitration,” according to the Latin Lawyer 250. “Reed Smith’s arbitration group differentiates itself through its easy international fluency; the team covers cases seated in New York, Miami and London, as well as in several Latin American countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Peru,” the guide also stated.

Latin Lawyer 250 writes that José Astigarraga, a former co-chair of Reed Smith’s international arbitration practice, “is considered one of the best practitioners in his field. He has vast experience in complex, high-value, multi-jurisdictional arbitrations and litigations in the region, predominantly working for multinational corporations in both commercial and investor-state cases.”

The Latin Lawyer 250 showcases the leading business law firms focusing on Latin America and is based on insight from Latin Lawyer’s editorial and research team. The guide can be found on Latin Lawyer’s website at latinlawyer.com.

Earlier this year, Astigarraga and Francisco Rivero, also a former co-chair of Reed Smith’s international arbitration practice, were included in the Latinvex 2022 directory “Latin America’s Top 100 Lawyers,” a recognition that both have received on multiple previous occasions.

Reed Smith’s Latin America Business Team was founded in Houston and comprises more than 80 practitioners, including strong corporate and transactional teams in London and New York. As the firm grew in Miami, it added prominent partners in international arbitration, regulatory and litigation, corporate, and real estate, becoming a bulwark of Latin American capabilities. Reed Smith recently moved into new office premises in the Southeast Financial Center in the city.
