Chambers has again noted Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss PLLC for its expertise in Latin America.

The 2025 Chambers Global guide ranks the firm among the top international counsel for corporate crime and investigation matters arising out of Latin America. LBKM is the only boutique firm to be included in this elite list.

Chambers writes:

“Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss houses an active team that is known for its expert handling of corporate crime and investigation cases arising out of Latin America. The legal department is routinely engaged to represent private individuals in FCPA investigations as well as white-collar crime litigation related to allegations of fraud, money laundering and property crimes. The firm is notably active in matters concerning Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela.”

One client source said:

“Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss are creative, understand our risks and show a hands-on approach to our cases. Their legal practitioners have a strong knowledge of Latin American jurisdictions.”

Latin American clients with U.S. exposure frequently face issues that cross not only borders but disciplines: criminal, civil, regulatory, compliance. LBKM’s multilingual team leverages the firm’s decades of experience in cross-border litigation as well as the experience of seasoned former prosecutors and compliance professionals. The team also boasts a network of longstanding working relationships and contacts throughout Latin America, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

London-based Chambers and Partners provides the most thorough and independent legal rankings on the market. Each year its team conducts in-depth research to analyze the leading firms and attorneys in over 200 jurisdictions around the world.

Chambers has previously noted LBKM’s Latin America expertise in other practice areas, including Asset Tracing & Recovery.
