Greenberg Traurig expanded its Latin America practice by adding a shareholder and four associates to its Mexico City office as a growing number of independent firms in the region seek global partners.

Rodrigo Orozco Waters, founder of Orozco Waters Abogados, joins the Greenberg Traurig corporate group as a shareholder. He brings with him four associates: Víctor Felipe Callarisa Rivera, Alfonso Malagón Lozano, Edgar Fernando Orozco Ceballos and José Manuel López Castro.

The additions expand Greenberg Traurig's project finance capabilities as the Mexican government is slashing the federal budget and pushing ahead on ambitious infrastructure projects, such as a train through the Yucatán Peninsula. Public-private partnerships could fill some of the anticipated financing gap.
