Established in 1887, Thompson & Knight today is a global firm of approximately 350 attorneys. We have US offices in Texas and New York, and international offices and associations in Mexico, South America, North Africa, Europe and Asia. In addition to providing a wide range of traditional legal services to clients in many industries, the firm takes pride in the depth of our experience in the energy industry.

With more than 35 years of experience representing clients in Latin America, Thompson & Knight’s commitment to its Latin American practice is unsurpassed. Our attorneys advise Latin American companies doing business within and beyond the borders of the region and work in all of the business languages of Latin America. We have many experienced attorneys fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French, including natives of various Latin American countries. The local presence and experience offered by our attorneys reflects the commitment of Thompson & Knight to provide the full range of legal services to our clients.

Our strategic growth has provided nonpareil strength in the Latin American market in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, project and private finance, infrastructure, securitisation, energy, LNG and capital markets. This growth is part of our accelerating strategy to make these services available globally in a highly interdependent world economy. In addition, our practice in Latin America extends beyond the borders of the region to represent those companies wishing to close business transactions elsewhere. For example, our Latin American attorneys have advised clients in South Africa, Gabon, Angola, Senegal, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Algeria, Niger, China and the United Kingdom.

To reinforce the firm’s long-standing commitment to assisting clients with their global energy initiatives, Thompson & Knight was the first US law firm to form a subsidiary that provides energy-consulting services to the global marketplace. Thompson & Knight Global Energy Services LLC offers a wide range of services to the energy industry, with a focus on procurement and supply chain management.

Thompson & Knight has always been a client-centred, results-oriented law firm that prides itself on the ability to reach creative, thoughtful and effective business and legal solutions. We are proud of the distinguished academic honours, professional awards and recognition our lawyers have received, but are equally proud of the ability of our lawyers to listen and be responsive to the needs and goals of our valued clients.
