MIAMI, October 4, 2023: Effective October 1, Morgan Lewis partner Sergio Oehninger joins partner Alison Tanchyk as a co-chair of the Juncadella Corporate Counsel Group (JCCG), an informal organization of more than 300 South Florida–based in-house counsel who primarily advise companies with business interests in Latin America and the Caribbean. The group thanks Morgan Lewis partner John Crespo for his two years of service as co-chair.
The JCCG was founded in 1992 by the late Salvador “Chicho” Juncadella, a former Morgan Lewis international consultant, who was a very accomplished, highly respected lawyer with a career spanning 60 years. The principal purpose of the group is to provide corporate counsel with strategic opportunities for relationship-building, networking, sharing of best practices, and career advancement. In addition to Alison and Sergio’s leadership, Morgan Lewis supports the JCCG by hosting a majority of its regular programming in partnership with the University of Miami School of Law, including the 13th Bi-Annual Seminar for in-house counsel working in the Americas, scheduled for fall 2024.
A member of the firm’s Chambers-ranked insurance coverage (policyholders) practice, Sergio represents companies in complex insurance coverage disputes in the United States and around the world. He counsels multinational corporations on insurance coverage and risk management issues arising in various industries, including retail, energy, aviation, financial services, construction, hospitality, and real estate. As part of his Latin America practice, Sergio advises corporate clients on cross-border exposures and risk transfer in connection with transactions, supply chain logistics, projects, operations, products, and services. He is a co-leader of the firm’s Hispanic/Latino Lawyer Network; has served in many capacities, including on the board of directors, for the Hispanic Bar Association of DC; and is a fellow on the Leadership Council for Legal Diversity (LCLD). Sergio also serves on the Law360 Editorial Advisory Board – Insurance Authority Specialty Lines and has been recognized as a top insurance coverage counsel by The Best Lawyers in America and The Legal 500 US, among other recognitions.
Morgan Lewis’s key practices throughout Latin America include energy, telecommunications, project development, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, and financial restructuring. The firm also has strong capabilities across industries in tax, regulatory, investment management, real estate, labor and employment, litigation, insurance, and international arbitration, among other areas. These strengths serve clients in sectors including energy, transportation, technology, and financial services. Chambers Latin America, The Legal 500 Latin America, Latinvex, Latin Lawyer, and other publications have routinely ranked these teams as leading practices in the region.
