Where we work

Latin America & Caribbean

Gide's New York office enjoys established relationships with the leading Latin American and Caribbean law firms, and a solid history of working collaboratively to deliver top tier legal advice to our clients with respect to their business dealings in these regions. Our relationships with our fellow lawyers in the premier Latin American and Caribbean law firms are facilitated by the proximity of our New York office, which enables us to maintain closer and more regular contact.

In these regions, in collaboration with select local counsel, Gide mainly advises on a range of transactions, including international organisations and governments on local development projects, public-private projects (infrastructure and energy industrial development), dispute resolution matters, and local development projects by international organisations.
