Latin Lawyer
Latin Lawyer is a legal publishing and intelligence platform covering legal markets in Latin America, offering news, analysis, directories and deal data. Founded in 2000, the organization provides reporting and research on transactional work, litigation, regulatory developments and firm rankings across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and other jurisdictions.

Early coverage included privatization deals and energy projects tied to firms from Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, United States and Netherlands. Over time the outlet expanded into data-driven league tables influenced by methodologies seen at publications like The American Lawyer and Legal 500. Latin Lawyer developed partnerships and content-sharing arrangements with legal directories and research organizations including Chambers and Partners, IFLR, Bloomberg, Reuters and Thomson Reuters.
