Latin America: International firms > Capital markets
Akin specialises in representing insurance companies and other institutional investors in cross-border debt private placements and other debt financings. The practice covers the vast majority of Latin American jurisdictions, especially the larger economies. Much of the practice has recently centred on private placements by Mexican issuers, including Mexican subsidiaries of global businesses. London-based Thomas O’Connor has extensive experience in advising institutional investors in private placements, as does Washington DC’s Margaret Parker-Yavuz; both also cover debt financing and direct lending. New York partner Sergio Urias provides further expertise in debt restructuring, including the restructuring of secured notes.
