Carlos Tamez 

Carlos has extensive experience advising clients in array of different businesses. He began his career in private practice advising clients in the maritime and logistics sectors.  He then moved on to in-house roles with multinational companies ranging from an international container shipping company, a European integrated energy major, and an international engineering corporation where he served as Head of Legal for the Americas and headed up the company’s legal department across North and South America. Most recently, he served as a senior legal executive for a bulk liquids terminal and storage company.

His broad experience encompasses litigation and dispute resolution, commercial contracting, corporate governance, employment matters, and risk management and insurance. Having spent much of his career working directly with business leaders and operational teams, Carlos understands that effective legal advice must help clients accomplish their business objectives.

Carlos particularly enjoys helping clients navigate complex commercial matters where legal, operational, and business considerations intersect. His in-house experience has given him a practical perspective on how companies evaluate risk, make decisions, negotiate contracts, and manage litigation and business disputes. He brings that perspective to his work with clients, focusing on solutions that are commercially sensible, strategically sound, and tailored to each client’s objectives.

Carlos earned his law degree from The University of Texas School of Law and is admitted to practice in Texas. He is also a published author on maritime legal issues and is fluent in English and Spanish.
