LBKM’s Latin America Practice Earns Key 2027 Chambers and Legal 500 Rankings
Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss has received recognition from two of the legal industry’s most respected ranking organizations, Chambers and The Legal 500, for its expert handling of corporate crime, investigations, compliance, and individual white-collar matters arising out of Latin America.
Chambers highlights LBKM’s work representing private individuals in FCPA investigations and white-collar criminal litigation related to allegations of fraud, money laundering, and property crimes in its Latin America Guide 2027: Corporate Crime & Investigations (International Counsel).
“Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss understands local Latin American nuances and interacts effectively with clients, sharing knowledge and building trust,” Chambers writes. “The firm is notably active in matters concerning Argentina, Mexico, and Venezuela.”
LBKM Partners Adam Kaufman and Cristián Francos also received individual Chambers rankings in the Corporate Crime & Investigations category.
The Legal 500 Latin America includes LBKM for the first time in its 2027 rankings for International Firms: Compliance and Investigations, noting the firm’s considerable focus on white-collar defense, sanctions, and foreign exchange control-related work, as well as corruption and money laundering matters in the region. “The firm represents a large number of business owners and senior executives in larger corporates” in the region, The Legal 500 writes.
Chambers and Legal 500 rankings are based on independent research, client and peer feedback, demonstrated experience, and market analysis.
Taken together, their recognition of LBKM’s Latin America practice attests to its ability to expertly identify, prevent, investigate, and respond to corporate and individual misconduct and potential criminal or regulatory violations throughout Latin America.
