The inaugural edition of Benchmark Latin America has officially launched!
The extensive research process used in the creation of Benchmark Latin America involves months of investigation and review of their recent case work, as well as client feedback, peer feedback and one-on-one interviews, and has culminated in the selection of the most distinguished attorneys in the world of Latin American dispute resolution. These individuals have earned their place amongst the leading Lat-Am litigators by participating in some of the most impactful litigation matters in recent history as well as by earning the hard-won respect of their peers and clients. Though they hail from widely different practice areas, they all share the distinction of being recognized as top players in their respective fields.
