Diaz Reus hires Jorge Schmidt as Of Counsel in Miami  

Diaz Reus International Law Firm has strengthened its disputes area by adding distinguished litigation and arbitration lawyer Jorge Schmidt as Of Counsel at its Miami Headquarters.
"I know of no better place in Miami with the mix of cases and talent upon which to grow a multi-jurisdictional practice focused on Mexico and Latin America," said Jorge. "It´s a great platform from which to apply my experience in law, finance, and corporate management."
"Jorge´s academic achievements, along with his legal and financial expertise, and his cultural background are a great fit for the firm and offer a significant benefit to our clients as we help them navigate thorny cross-border challenges. He is a key part of our growth strategy, particularly in the sensitive, complex, and often high-profile regulatory or criminal investigations that our firm handles for clients worldwide," said Michael Diaz Jr., global managing partner at Diaz Reus. "Jorge’s background in special operations also demonstrates his commitment to excellence and to service."
A native Spanish speaker admitted to the Florida Bar, Jorge focuses his practice on cross-border litigation, investigations and arbitration, including white collar representations, internal investigations, complex commercial disputes, international law matters and international arbitrations.
His experience as a founder of two Latin American startups in highly regulated sectors allows him to navigate varying legal and regulatory regimes and to serve foreign and domestic clients in cross-border matters involving multiple jurisdictions. He has represented Fortune 500 companies, large multinational companies and investment funds, foreign governments, high-net-worth individuals and families, government officials, and senior executives.
Jorge received a Juris Doctor degree magna cum laude from the University of Miami School of law in 2004, and a Master of Science in Finance from Johns Hopkins University in 2022. He is admitted to the Florida Bar.
Mr. Schmidt is also a U.S. Army special operations veteran and held a TS/SCI security clearance.
