Baker Botts L.L.P.

Recognised as a leading energy practice in a city renowned for its energy work, Baker Botts L.L.P.’s Houston office handles the full spectrum of related mandates in Latin America, from project finance and development to corporate acquisitions and international arbitration. The team has expertise across all industry segments, covering renewable energy, LNG, and upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas matters. While the firm continues to be highly active in energy projects and transactions in Mexico – including advising Mexico Pacific on LNG sale and purchase agreements for an LNG liquefaction project in Sonora, one of the few projects under development on the Pacific Coast of North America – its recent workload also takes in matters in Peru, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Latin America practice chair Carlos Solé, who also serves as deputy chair of the global projects department, has a stellar reputation for advising US and multinational clients on cross-border project finance and M&A involving both renewable and traditional energy assets, with particularly deep knowledge of Mexico’s energy sector. David Jetter is another well-regarded adviser on energy project development and transactions, with a broad practice that spans LNG, natural gas, carbon capture and e-fuels projects.
