Two Latham Attorneys Recognized on List of Latin America’s Top 100 Female Lawyers

Latinvex has selected New York partner Marcela Ruenes and Washington, D.C. counsel Katherine Sawyer for its annual ranking of the region’s top female legal talent. The publication evaluates nominees on the strength of their recent matters, the firm’s regional prominence, and third-party recognitions, relying on both firm-submitted and publicly available data.

Marcela, a member of Latham’s Banking and Latin America Practices, is recognized for the third consecutive year by the publication for her representation of a full range of lead arrangers, lenders, and borrowers on their most complex US and cross-border finance and private credit transactions.

Katherine, a member of the firm’s White Collar Defense & Investigation and Latin America Practices, makes her debut on the list. She is recognized for her representation of clients in white collar litigation and government investigations, including investigations and enforcement actions related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), money laundering, and securities violations in addition to anti-corruption compliance counseling and diligence.
