Ashurst in Latin America
We offer the reach and insight of a global network, combined with the knowledge and understanding of local markets.
Ashurst's Latin America Group has ample experience and deep knowledge of the common issues pertaining to matters on a country and sector basis. We are familiar with the key actors in each jurisdiction including government, banks, local companies and international investors. We also work collaboratively with our network of local counsel to leverage their presence and local knowledge with our global reach and capabilities.
Our team features many bilingual speakers that work closely and seamlessly, regardless of their location and specialisation, so that our clients can benefit from their specialised knowledge and experience working on matters taking place across Latin America.
They have a high level of professionalism and they always react to our enquiries promptly and in a timely manner. They always look for future opportunities where they could help and they provide us their view and possible solutions. This gives us comfort to work with them in the future when we need a legal adviser for our transactions. A CLIENT

Latin America market knowledge with global experience
Whatever success looks like for you, we have the capabilities to meet any legal challenges that come along the way. Operating from our international network of offices, we offer a combination of Latin America market expertise and global experience which helps us provide innovative and informed solutions.
The drive to decarbonise LatAm
Latin America is expected to be a leading growth region for global renewable energy investment over the next five years. Ashurst surveyed more than 2,000 senior business leaders from across G20 countries on the changing global energy market as it seeks to meet rising demand and a drive towards decarbonisation.
We developed the Powering Change: Energy in Transition report which identifies Latin America as a regional hotspot for companies investing in the energy transition. Contact us to request access to the full report.
Andrés Arnaldos, Americas-focused projects partner at Ashurst, said: “With its lengthy coastlines and reliable sun and wind, Latin America provides significant opportunities for renewable energy investors and developers to capitalise on the region's burgeoning subsidy mechanisms and potentially lucrative revenue streams. The potential growth in Argentinian biomass is testament to the region's expanding rural economy and strong industrial base, whilst ESG is a driver for low-carbon growth in Brazil despite the Bolsonaro government’s environmental shift."
