King & Spalding LLP

King & Spalding continues to build on its elevated standing in the energy transition and LNG sectors, along with infrastructure, oil and gas; it is also making an impression in digital infrastructure projects. The team is praised for its ‘decisive approach, creativity and constructive attitude’. The Latin America team benefits from the presence of experienced project development, project finance, acquisition finance and M&A practitioners, among others. Key markets include Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Central America. In Miami, leading name Fradyn Suárez and newly-elected partner Jessica Mendoza have further developed the firm’s presence among sponsor/developer groups, and structuring banks and lenders, and have worked alongside Abu Dhabi’s Dan Feldman to play a pivotal role in low carbon molecule (hydrogen) projects, including in Brazil and Peru. The Latin America team is also noted for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO), and other offshore projects across the region. Washington DC-based James Bowe has an outstanding record in LNG projects across Latin America. Houston partner Scott Greer is a construction specialist often having an integral role in the firm’s oil and gas, LNG, petrochemical, power and mining projects in the region. David Lang moved in house in December 2024.
