Kennedys achieves excellent rankings in The Legal 500 Latin America 2024

We are pleased to announce that the publication of the 2024 edition of The Legal 500 Latin America has once again recognized Kennedys as a leading firm across the region.

In addition to maintaining our ‘top tier’ ranking for insurance in Peru, we have also been recognized as a ‘top tier’ firm for insurance in Colombia for the very first time. We have also received notable practice rankings for insurance in Chile and Mexico, as well as a brand new ranking for dispute resolution in Colombia.

Overall, Kennedys received a total of seven practice area rankings from across the firm’s Latin American offices, in addition to two new mentions as a ‘Firm to Watch’ in Insurance (Argentina) and Competition and Antitrust (Chile).

It is not a traditional law firm, it is a comprehensive consultancy which adopts the required role in each case. Its role as coordinator in complex cases is very remarkable.
