Provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates

Chambers Latin America noted the team’s “pre-eminent finance practice offering recognised expertise in a range of Latin American financial mandates,” and “renowned insight into the intricacies of Latin American corporate transactions.”

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has had a dedicated Latin America Group since 1990, significantly longer than most major law firms. Our group has advised clients on a significant number of matters throughout the region, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate financings, international banking matters, project financings, private equity transactions, restructurings, privatizations, and international arbitration and complex litigation matters.

We represent many major Latin American and international companies, investment banks and financial institutions, including underwriters and issuers, and individual directors and officers in some of the largest, most high-profile transactions and disputes in Latin America. Our attorneys utilize the firm’s experience in all practice areas — tax, governance, bankruptcy/restructuring, technology, intellectual property, arbitration/litigation, regulatory investigation and enforcement, structured finance, antitrust and real estate — to ensure the most cost-efficient representation of our clients.
