Clyde & Co has bolstered its Latin American practice, centred on Caracas, Venezuela, by hiring a team of lawyers, including a litigation partner from US firm Cozen O’Connor Hermes Marangos.

He brings with him several key Latin American clients, particularly in the global energy and international property fields. Besides his litigation practice, Marangos acts as a consultant for the UN, the EU and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

His assistants, Kathleen Leslie and Andrew Tobin, will join Clydes on 19 September.
