Dechert’s International Arbitration Practice Shortlisted for Chambers Latin America Award
Chambers Latin America has shortlisted Dechert LLP for its “International Arbitration Law Firm of the Year” award as part of the Chambers Latin America Awards 2018, placing the firm at the pinnacle of the profession in Latin America. The award, which is a result of extensive research completed by over 200 analysts, reflects notable achievements of firms over the past 12 months, including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service.
“We are honored to be recognized by Chambers Latin America,” said Eduardo Silva Romero and Arif H. Ali, co-chairs of Dechert’s global international arbitration practice. “The Latin American market has been vital to a lot of the work we do, and this award is reflective of that and all of our clients who have entrusted us along the way.”
Dechert’s international arbitration group is a recognized global leader in the field, with exemplary matters including achieving the largest annulment in ICSID history on behalf of Ecuador and succeeding on an innovative, multi-million dollar counterclaim against a foreign investor for environmental damage in the Amazon. With more than 50 lawyers around the world, Dechert’s international arbitration group represents sovereign states and state-owned enterprises, along with private investors, businesses and high-net-worth individuals, in treaty and contract arbitrations around the world. The team, which has the capacity to manage factually and technically complex disputes with equal dexterity in English, Spanish or Portuguese, is experienced in all major arbitration rules, venues and proceedings.
Winners will be announced at the Chambers Latin America Awards ceremony at The Loews Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida on November 30.
