In an article entitled "China Looks to Latin America to Shore Up Supply Chain," Law360 highlighted the future of Chinese investment in Latin America by quoting one expert's commentary at Akerman's sixth annual U.S. Latin America Legal Summit. 

James Hoffman, managing director of Gunster Strategies Worldwide, told Summit attendees that Chinese money is expected to flow into Chile and Mexico as the country looks to invest in manufacturing and agricultural development abroad to secure its food supply.

“China is making investments in that,” Hoffman said. “[Latin Americans] understand the American jurisdiction and American requirements, and the Chinese have mapped a lot of their requirements on what Americans did.”
