With a diverse practice mix and extensive in-country experience, Pillsbury is helping clients navigate the rapidly evolving legal and commercial landscape in Venezuela.
For many years, Pillsbury has been at the forefront in Venezuela—advising long-standing clients on some of the most noteworthy developments.
The reverberations of the removal of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the U.S. administration’s recent statements regarding its involvement in Venezuela continue to impact global business. The reconstruction and redevelopment of Venezuelan infrastructure and the recovery of Venezuela’s economy will depend on many factors, but prime among them will be the deployment of capital by foreign investors. In a country facing myriad challenges, these geopolitical realities introduce yet another layer of risk and uncertainty that foreign investors will need to grapple with.

Working with entities across a broad range of industries—including in the energy, finance, construction, and commodity trading sectors—our lawyers help manage risk, protect investments, and identify opportunities.
