Latin America - Latin America: International firms
Paul Hastings LLP
We only have limited information for this firm. Consider the following firms which have provided more information:
Paul Hastings LLP has emerged as a major player in Latin America over the last decade and over the last two years has experienced a further overhaul of the team. Despite the retirement of the highly-rated Robert Kartheiser, it brought in a senior team from Shearman & Sterling LLP led by prominent figure Gregory Tan, who is the new global co-chair of the infrastructure and energy practice, and the increasingly established Alexandro Padrés, who has an outstanding record in Chile. Tan has a major focus on Latin America and Padrés is exclusively dedicated to the region. The new team has brought additional firepower in power, renewables, oil and gas, and LNG, to complement the legacy group’s expertise in transport infrastructure, including airports and toll roads. The group has close connections to a balanced number of lenders and sponsors, and has extensive geographic coverage across Latin America. Elicia Ling and newly-elected partner Thomas Sines are also key members of the legacy team, who are both rising in prominence.

‘The team has extensive experience advising on the financing of energy projects and, specifically, on transmission line projects in Chile. The members of the team share a business vision focused on excellence in advice and the success of their clients' operations, which make this practice unique.’
‘Availability and commitment of the partners and lawyers of this Firm. These are proactively involved in matters, offering their knowledge and experience and, therefore, providing confidence for the client and quality in their advice. Worked with Alexandro Padrés, infrastructure and energy partner. Alexandro's work in the operations in which he has worked with Celeo has been characterised by his knowledge of the sector, his high professional commitment, his personal closeness and his conciliatory character. We value Alexandro's absolute availability and the quality of the services he provides. We have had the opportunity to work with Rita Ghanem, who has collaborated proactively and has been at the service of the project at all times.’
