Hogan Lovells US LLP

Hogan Lovells US LLP has a long history in Miami with much of its practice having a Latin America emphasis. The Miami team is noted for energy and infrastructure projects in Latin America, along with international arbitration. Previously, the international arbitration practice was more centred on commercial arbitration, but the firm has increased its focus on investment treaty cases; the team represents sovereigns, quasi-sovereigns and investors. Richard Lorenzo is regional managing partner for the Americas and is a recognised leader in international arbitration, as is Daniel González, who was previously global head of international arbitration. Puerto Rican-born Maria Ramirez is an emerging talent in the international arbitration field and -like Lorenzo and González- a genuinely bilingual practitioner. The Miami office is also at the forefront of energy and infrastructure projects, along with sustainability and decarbonisation-related transactions. Jorge Diaz-Silveira is managing partner of the Miami office and leader of the Americas infrastructure, energy, resources and projects group; he has an extensive record in projects work in Central America, Ecuador, Chile and Colombia. José Valdivia is co-chair of the Latin America group and another experienced figure in energy and infrastructure projects.
