LEGAL COUNSEL FOR VENEZUELA'S BANCO LATINO EARNS DIAZ REUS PARTNERS "MOST EFFECTIVE LAWYERS" SELECTION FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW

Diaz Reus & Targ, LLP partners Michael Diaz, Jr., Gary E. Davidson and Carlos F. Gonzalez were selected the 2011 “Most Effective Lawyers” in the international law category by The Daily Business Review’s editorial staff. The firm was previously recognized for the international category in 2007 and 2009.

Diaz, Davidson, and Gonzalez received the award for their successful efforts as legal counsel for Venezuela’s Banco Latino, which sued Milagros Cisneros Fajardo, a wealthy Venezuelan whose mining company defaulted on a $9.25 million loan.  Diaz, the firm’s managing partner, and Davidson tried the case before a jury, while Gonzalez argued critical motions to preserve the record for appeal.  Diaz Reus was previously a finalist in the international law category for its lawsuit against the Republic of Peru. 

Diaz represents multinational corporations and financial institutions, foreign governments and officials, and high-profile individuals in arbitration, litigation, sensitive and high stakes regulatory, commercial, and white collar criminal matters in the U. S. and abroad. Davidson is a high-stakes international litigator and arbitrator with noted successes in state and federal courts and before AAA and other arbitral tribunals. Gonzalez is a trial and appellate lawyer who concentrates his practice in international disputes, including sovereign litigation, securities litigation, and white collar criminal defense.
