Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm, continues to be recognized by Chambers and Partners among the world’s leading law firms for resolving complex disputes and for guiding business transactions in the Latin America region.

Luis A. Perez, chair of Akerman’s Latin America and the Caribbean Practice, was ranked for the tenth consecutive time for International Arbitration for leading arbitration proceedings and resolving complex, cross-border disputes on behalf of companies and individuals across Latin America.

Chambers and Partners also recognized International Practice Chair Pedro A. Freyre and Cuba Practice Chair Augusto E. Maxwell, who were both ranked as leading lawyers in Corporate/Commercial – Cuba.

Perez was recognized for both Arbitration (International) – Latin America-wide and International Arbitration – USA as a foreign expert for Latin America.
