Baker Botts has mobilized a cross-practice Venezuela team to counsel global clients on sanctions compliance, political risk, and investment considerations following the U.S.’ intervention and the resulting shift in the region’s political landscape.
The team is advising companies across sectors on legal requirements for potential market re-entry, infrastructure redevelopment, and dispute resolution as Venezuela's regulatory environment evolves.
Drawing on decades of experience in Latin American cross-border matters and in Venezuela throughout the sanctions period, the team includes lawyers who previously held senior leadership roles within the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and Energy, as well as lawyers who have lived and worked in Venezuela.
