When Anibal Martin Sabater joined Houston's Fulbright & Jaworski four years ago, he rarely got to use his Spanish skills. But now he says it's necessary for firms doing arbitration with Latin American companies to provide Spanish-speaking counsel. Expansion of U.S. companies' work in Latin America, the growing sophistication of Latin American companies and the rising use of arbitration in general have driven the use of Spanish, lawyers say, possibly causing law firms to hire more bilingual lawyers.

When Anibal Martin Sabater joined Houston’s Fulbright & Jaworski four years ago, he said he rarely got to use his Spanish skills.
“We always had a strong Latin American presence when it comes to arbitration, but when I came here in 2003, I don’t think we had any arbitration cases in Spanish even though several of those involved Latin America,” said Sabater, a native of Spain who works as an international arbitration adviser.
