Venezuela has retained the services of Greenberg Traurig, a prominent US law firm, to represent the country in a legal case against Crystallex in the United States. This move signals a shift in Venezuela’s legal strategy concerning international disputes, particularly those involving the US. The case with Crystallex centers around a dispute stemming from the nationalization of assets under the Hugo Chávez administration. Venezuela has been actively adjusting its legal representation in foreign courts in recent months. This change is likely aimed at strengthening its defense against ongoing legal challenges. The engagement of a major US firm suggests Venezuela is preparing for a potentially protracted and complex legal fight. Details of the agreement between Venezuela and Greenberg Traurig have not been publicly disclosed.
