Latinvex has recognized Haynes Boone International Practice Group Co-Chairs Alberto de la Peña and Larry Pascal among Latin America's Top 100 Lawyers for 2026. De la Peña was honored in the Corporate/M&A category, while Pascal was recognized for his work across corporate/M&A, energy, aviation and real estate.

The accolades underscore the firm's continued investment in its Latin America and Caribbean Practice Group and its ability to deliver integrated counsel across corporate, finance, energy, infrastructure, real estate and dispute resolution matters throughout the region.
