White & Case LLP
retained by Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, through the Council of Administration and Asset Protection (CAPA)
Why this score
The principal is the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which is identified as a government entity, inherently involving political and governmental interests. Representation by a US law firm for a foreign government often raises questions regarding potential influence on US foreign policy or domestic interests, therefore the alignment score is low. However, given that the nature of filing is about legal advisory services, this also implies that the intent might be to navigate the legal regulations for Venezuela. It is important to note that the country has a complicated relationship with the US, and this is reflected in the low score.
