Campos Mello Advogados is a full-service law firm working in cooperation with DLA Piper to serve domestic and international companies. We provide our clients with access to good practices and qualified information, which, combined with local knowledge and the resources of DLA Piper’s global platform, results in seamless, innovative solutions to ensure our clients are provided with the level of service they require to achieve the legal and business objectives.
This cooperation enables us to serve clients globally, working directly with DLA Piper Latin America – a team formed by over 450 lawyers based in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and working throughout Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and around the globe.
A number of our lawyers, born or raised in the region familiar with it, are fluent in Portuguese and/or Spanish. Many have also practiced law in both the US and Latin America and are intimately familiar with civil law systems and with the cultural and legal nuances required to successfully do business in the region. Our strategic relationships on the ground throughout Latin America enhance our understanding of the region and enable us to provide our clients practical, meaningful legal advice, whether they are based in Latin America or wish to do business there.
The United States, specifically New York and Florida, has deep economic and cultural ties to Latin America. After many decades of being at the center of the most complex cross-border matters related to Latin America, New York law is firmly established as the most widely accepted applicable/governing law on cross-border transactions related to Latin America.
DLA Piper US based team of Latin America practitioners regularly acts as lead counsel on a wide range of cross-border matters in Latin America, ranging from complex capital markets, finance and M&A matters to public private partnerships and market entry and establishment issues. And, together with the work of our practitioners at Campos Mello Advogados, our team effort results in an efficient and business-oriented approach, aiming for well-integrated, innovative solutions.
