Venezuela is re-emerging as a market of interest for foreign investment and offers a unique entry point for investors evaluating the country’s gradual reopening. As the only international law firm with a continuous 70+ years of presence in the country, we combine unmatched institutional knowledge with experience navigating highly regulated, shifting environments—critical for early entrants assessing risk, compliance and structuring options.
Our team has been involved in many of Venezuela’s most consequential transactions, disputes and regulatory matters, including cases that reshaped how international business is conducted locally. We regularly advise leading multinational companies on exit, protection and re-entry strategies, positioning us as a go-to-adviser for businesses recalibrating their footprint in the market. This practical experience, alongside consistent top-tier recognition in Chambers and Legal 500, reflects a track record of delivering results in complex, cross-border scenarios.
Clients benefit from a deep and stable bench. Our partners bring decades of experience advising on Venezuelan law through multiple regulatory cycles, supported by a strong pipeline of talented associates. As a full-service office integrated into Baker McKenzie’s global platform, we assemble multidisciplinary teams across corporate/M&A, energy, disputes and regulatory practices—particularly relevant in an oil and gas-driven economy—ensuring coordinated, commercially grounded advice for structuring, investing and operating in Venezuela.
