Miami, FL — June 25, 2020 – Miami-based, global law firm Diaz Reus International Law Firm & Alliance has recently been recognized by The Legal 500 USA, Latinvex and Super Lawyers in their 2020 editions.
The Legal 500 USA 2020 ranked Diaz Reus for “Corporate Investigations and White-Collar Criminal Defense: Advice to Individuals” and “International Litigation”.
Regarding the “Corporate Investigations and White-Collar Criminal Defense: Advice to Individuals” chapter, the leading legal guide stated that the “very professional, multidisciplinary team excels in handling government regulatory, intelligence and criminal investigations or enforcement issues arising out of Latin America. Under the leadership of Michael Diaz and Robert Targ, the group has built a solid practice consisting of cases involving corruption, bribery, money laundering and OFAC or FCPA-based violations.
In Washington DC, seasoned trial lawyer Richard Wiedis is an anti-corruption expert, while Greg Ahlgren in Houston has an exceptional track record in cross-border investigations. Marta Colomar-Garcia in Miami is an anti-money laundering specialist.”
Clients commented: “the relationship and confidence you develop with the council is a result of the comprehensive care they give to you. Diaz Reus’ team meets the requirements of each client efficiently. They do the hard work that enables them to understand the unique status of each client. Without any doubt, they are proactive when it comes to protecting the clients’ interests.” Other ones added: “It’s very clear to me their competitive advantage with other firms is the knowledge-relations-critical thinking and quickly respond to the complexity in this particular space. While other firms spend a huge amount of time understanding the issues and collateral implications Diaz Reus is always up-to-date on what matters to the client.” “Michael Diaz is a savvy strategist and exhibits very strong negotiating instincts. He and his team of specialists in financial fraud, international asset recovery, anti-money laundering, OFAC and FCPA have been more than helpful to our bank.”
As to the International Litigation chapter, The Legal 500 USA 2020 commented: “Michael Diaz, Jr., Gary Davidson and Brant Hadaway jointly lead the deeply analytical and multilingual team, which acts for a mix of financial institutions, multinational companies, high-net-worth individuals, and public officials. While the group is perhaps best known for handing financial fraud allegations, it is also well versed in tort claims, shareholder disputes, sovereign immunity issues, IP litigation, and claims arising out of breaches of contract. Furthering its ability to act in cross-border mandates, the team has continued to expand its international reach through its alliance of firm-owned and independent law firms. Clients acknowledged: “This team is deeply analytic: it considers all possibilities and scenarios before taking any action. The team has excellent knowledge of domestic and international law, in addition to an excellent customer service. They are very professional, ethical and helpful.” “Gary Davidson and his team have been very prompt in communication, and supportive whenever needed. He is very bright, leaves no stone unturned, and would never let anyone down.” “Brant Hadaway is intelligent and a very competent litigation attorney, very even-keeled, and has been diligent in our complex cases.”
