Washington, DC, June 25, 2025 – Miller & Chevalier is delighted to announce Members Matteson Ellis, Jeffrey Lehtman, and Richard Mojica were recognized among Latin America's Top 100 Lawyers by Latin America business publication Latinvex. This 13th annual ranking distinguishes our Trade and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) practices, with Miller & Chevalier standing as the sole firm with two distinguished lawyers in the FCPA & Fraud category.

Mojica, Customs & Import Trade Practice Lead, makes his inaugural appearance on the Latinvex Top 100 list. He counsels companies on how to minimize the cost of importing merchandise into the U.S. through strategic customs planning. Latinvex affirmed Mojica's practice, noting, "Companies also turn to Mr. Mojica for counseling on customs enforcement matters, including audits, investigations, merchandise detentions, and penalty cases."

Ellis, who has been selected as a top Latin America lawyer by Latinvex for the past 12 years, founded the firm's Latin America practice. Latinvex regards Ellis as "the leading expert on the [FCPA] and Latin America" and showcased his accolades, adding, "Chambers Latin America 2025 singles out his work on Latin America-wide fraud and corporate investigations (in Band 1, its top rank), while the Legal 500 Latin America ranks him among the top lawyers in compliance and investigations." Latinvex further noted praise from Chambers Latin America, where they describe Ellis as an "experienced practitioner" that's "held in the highest esteem for his handling of high-profile FCPA investigations and compliance matters, in addition to internal inquests across Latin America." 

Lehtman, making his sixth appearance on the Latinvex list, focuses his practice on assisting clients with internal and government investigations, regulatory compliance, and complex cross-border litigation. Latinvex states "Lehtman has particular experience in counseling clients with regard to civil, criminal, and regulatory issues arising in their international operations, ranging from compliance strategies to mitigate potential risk to internal and government investigations."
