The Latin America practice group provides clients with market-oriented analysis of the political, economic, social, and security forces that shape events in a region with evolving investment opportunities. Our analysts stay in close contact with on-the-ground sources, conduct frequent research trips throughout Latin America, and observe policy developments in Washington that affect the region.

In close collaboration with our Global Energy & Natural Resources and Comparative Analytics practice groups, our Latin America analysts also assess the impact of increasing international competition for influence in this energy-rich, strategically pivotal region. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, our analysts have extensive experience living and working in Latin America.
