Shook, Hardy & Bacon has long been recognized as one of the premier litigation firms in the country. For more than a century, the firm has defended companies in their most substantial national and international products liability, mass tort and complex litigation matters.
The firm has leveraged its complex product liability litigation expertise to expand into several other practice areas and advance its mission of “being the best in the world at providing creative and practical solutions at unsurpassed value.” As a result, the firm has built nationally recognized practices in areas such as intellectual property, environmental and toxic tort, employment litigation, commercial litigation, government enforcement and compliance, and public policy.

Shook Of Counsel Ricardo
Ampudia joined a written panel on arbitration in the Latin
American energy sector for Financier Worldwide. Ampudia
answered questions about the current appetite for arbitration in
the region, key trends and developments, underlying causes for the
disputes and recommended approaches to claims evaluation and
arbitration preparation.
"Every signal indicates that arbitration in Latin
America's energy sector is here to stay, with new types of
disputes and new claimants coming into the scene," Ampudia
explained. "Energy companies want to stay out of local courts,
the region continues to discover vast energy resources that attract
large and foreign industry participants, the region's energy
policy toward renewables is changing rapidly as its legal and
regulatory frameworks try to keep up, and key industry participants
continue to be closely linked to the national governments and
thereby susceptible to political currents."
