Mr Daniel Ganitsky > Proskauer Rose LLP > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Proskauer Rose LLP has a stable team of Latin America specialists based in its New York and Sao Paulo offices. The group represents a mix of multinationals, multi-latinas and financial sponsors, particularly in the financial services, energy and natural resources, mining and metals, and life sciences industries. It has a small group of sizeable Latin American clients that provide regular engagements, such as BTG Pactual and The Gilinski Group. The head of the Latin America practice, Carlos Martinez, is a seasoned corporate and M&A specialist with inordinate knowledge of the continent, while Daniel Ganitsky , co-head of the M&A practice, can also draw on his longstanding focus on the region. Recent matters saw the pair lead advice to anchor client The Gilinski Group on its two takeover bids in Colombia to acquire Grupo Nutresa and Grupo Suramericana. Other mandates have seen the practice acting in Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru of late. Both partners are based in New York.

Proskauer Rose LLP has a strong focus on mid-market private equity and growth equity deals, working with a wide range of funds and investors including Bain, Carlyle, and Goldman Sachs on buyouts, portfolio company investments, and divestitures. The team is able to draw upon the firm’s wider financing, structuring, and private credit expertise, offering a service to funds clients beyond pure transactional work. The department is overseen from New York by active dealmakers Lauren Boglivi, a noted specialist in media sector transactions, and Daniel Ganitsky, who advises on a wide range of deals, particularly cross-border transactions involving Latin American parties. The firm’s Boston-based offering takes the lead on most private equity work, and is spearheaded by Steven Peck, who has a broad practice encompassing straight buyouts, growth equity investments, and distressed acquisitions, and is also adept in fund manager advice, including on M&A and restructuring. His clients include major bulge-bracket players alongside prolific mid-market investors.

Praised for its ‘understanding of business objectives’, Proskauer Rose LLP is known for its broad industry knowledge, which includes life sciences, media, technology, hospitality, gaming and leisure. Lauren Boglivi handles significant deals on behalf of private and public companies, investment banks, family offices and private equity sponsors, garnering particular acclaim within the sports and entertainment industries; she co-heads the practice from New York alongside Daniel Ganitsky.
