Latin America - Latin America: International firms

Winston & Strawn LLP

We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:

Winston & Strawn LLP is a major force in corporate investigations and white-collar criminal defence, acting for both corporates and individuals. Coupled with this, the firm has a rapidly growing presence in Latin America matters, where it is increasingly active in cross-border investigations and enforcement cases. Along with anti-corruption matters, the firm is also building its standing in sanctions cases, including those under OFAC. The launch of a Miami office in May 2022 has significantly reinforced the firm’s reputation in Latin America and bolstered its contacts in the region. Abbe Lowell is a market leader in white-collar defence and has extensive experience in Latin America. San Francisco partner Pamela Davis heads the FCPA and anti-corruption team, and is another key figure for Latin America matters, as is Cari Stinebower, who previously lived and worked in Colombia.
