Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP’s Latin America team is largely based in Houston, where the group has an impressive record in energy projects and transactions, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, along with other jurisdictions including Argentina, Bolivia and Dominican Republic. It continues to represent a range of project sponsors, financial institutions, governments and private equity investors. With a background primarily in oil and gas, the Latin America team has gradually -and successfully- broadened its mix of engagements to include power and renewables, and telecoms-infrastructure matters. Co-chair of the Latin America group John Crespo, a native Spanish speaker, has a fine reputation for oil and gas transactions. Brazilian Felipe Alice is also rated for hydrocarbons work, and Humberto Padilla Gonzalez is an experienced figure in Mexico energy transactions. Washington DC’s Ulises Pin specialises in communications infrastructure, including satellite and subsea cable projects. All partners are based in Houston unless stated otherwise.
