Paris, New York, London, 15 April 2025 – Hogan Lovells has achieved a standout recognition at the annual Global Arbitration Awards (GAR) winning the inaugural “Latin America Practice That Impressed” award beating out 7 other finalists. The accolade, accepted by Paris-based partner Melissa Ordonez, celebrates the firm’s outstanding performance and track record of delivering market-leading victories across the Latin America region – including the team’s recent success for Energía y Renovación Holding S.A. against Guatemala at ICSID.
The firm also ranked 12th in the prestigious GAR30 list, which recognizes the most active arbitration practices in the world among hundreds of firms. Our rise to 12th place reflects the strength of our International Arbitration practice and our continued focus on strategic growth.
The coveted ranking further confirms the firm’s standing in international arbitration and showcases our leadership and dedication in the field. Recognizing our clients’ growing global demands, Hogan Lovells has made a series of key strategic moves recently, including the internal promotions of Annabel Maltby (London), Silvia Martínez (Madrid), Zoe Dong (Hong Kong) and Michael G. Jacobson (DC) to partner. Additionally, the firm recently strengthened its team with the recent lateral addition of Rob Palmer, a highly regarded arbitration specialist, in Singapore. His addition further bolsters Hogan Lovells' expanding presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Oliver Armas, Head of International Arbitration practice, said: “We had another good showing at GAR this year. We’re particularly thrilled to have won the ‘Latin America Practice that Impressed’ award. Year in and year out, our LatAm team is involved in some of the most important cases in the region. It’s nice to see GAR recognize their excellence. They truly are rock stars. We are grateful for the confidence our clients continue to place in us to represent them in their most challenging disputes around the world.”
The firm’s success at the GAR awards highlights its increased demand for international arbitration services, its ongoing successes on behalf of our clients, our work as arbitrators and our strategic growth, solidifying the firm’s position as a leader in the field.
