SINGAPORE, 8 December 2025 — Duane Morris & Selvam LLP today announced a renewed commitment to its SG–LATAM alliance, strengthening the firm’s longstanding Latin America Business Group and expanding the bridge it has built between Latin America and Asia.
The alliance now spans a network of leading firms across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, underscoring the firm’s comprehensive regional reach. The members of the Latin America Business Group are top-ranked law firms in their respective jurisdictions.
For years, the firm’s lawyers have advised clients on legal and commercial matters in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, and across Central and South America. As the Singapore and broader Asia practice has become increasingly integrated with the firm’s Latin America capabilities, the alliance now offers a cohesive, multi-regional platform for globally oriented companies.
Regional Knowledge, Global Strength
A core advantage of the Latin America Business Group is its deep language and regional capability. The team includes lawyers fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French and English, as well as attorneys admitted in Latin American jurisdictions, providing practical insight into local laws and business environments. The group also draws on significant regional experience, including a former Mexican Ambassador to Singapore, Brunei and Myanmar; an Honorary Consul of Singapore to Columbia; leadership roles in the U.S.–Mexico Chamber of Commerce; legal development work in Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil; and senior in-house counsel positions for major multinational companies.
“Strengthening our SG–LATAM alliance is a natural progression of our long history in the region,” said Eduardo Ramos-Gomez, Partner and Head of the Latin America Business Group in Singapore. “This enhanced collaboration enables us to connect clients from Latin America to Asia and vice versa, leveraging shared expertise, regional insights and the full capabilities of our international platform.”
A Deep, Multidisciplinary Platform
The Latin America Business Group spans Duane Morris offices in the U.S., Europe and Asia, working closely with local counsel to deliver practical, coordinated solutions. The firm advises Latin American companies expanding into the U.S. and Asia, global companies entering Latin America, and financial institutions with cross-border interests.
The Group’s experience includes:
- Transactional banking in U.S. and offshore jurisdictions
- Corporate formation and governance
- Project financing and credit restructuring
- Joint ventures, M&A and private equity
- Foreign direct investment and privatizations
- Insurance, litigation, immigration, employment, real estate, manufacturing, international trade and antitrust
- Infrastructure projects
This combination of cross-border capability and strategic alignment with the firm’s Singapore and Asia platform forms the foundation of Duane Morris & Selvam’s strengthened SG–LATAM alliance.
