Latinvex named Principal Maddie Boyer (Austin) to its 2020 "Top 100 Lawyer" list for Latin America. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Latinvex has recognized Maddie, founder of the firm's Latin America practice group. B&D lawyers in this service area directly support clients with environmental, health, and safety (EHS) legal needs in Latin America, are fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and have lived or studied in the region. 

Maddie provides legal analyses, strategic assessments and compliance counseling on a variety of issues arising under the domestic environmental, health and safety regulations of most Latin American countries. Fluent in Spanish, Maddie received a post-graduate degree from La Escuela Libre de Derecho School of Law, Mexico's premier law school, where she wrote and defended a thesis on Mexico's hazardous waste and remediation standards. From 1988-1990, she served in the United States Peace Corps in Guatemala.

Each year, the editorial staff of Latinvex selects the top attorneys from international law firms that represent Latin American clients. The publication also named B&D to its list of the "Top International Law Firms" for Environment in Latin America in 2020. The Top International Law Firm ranking is based on a combination of factors, including value, prominence, and scope of work, as well as references among clients and peers.
