Lawyer Rankings
Latin America: International firms > Corporate and M&A
Proskauer Rose LLP’s Latin America-focused corporate and M&A team is primarily located in New York, but draws further support from its sizeable São Paulo office. The team has a history of headline cross-border M&A and private equity transactions in the region, notably in the financial services, energy and natural resources, life sciences, manufacturing and mining sectors. It has close connections to major multinationals, financial sponsors, multi-latinas and family groups in the region. New York partner Carlos Martinez leads the Latin America group and has an extensive history in M&A and corporate transactions, building close connections to a number of major clients in the region. New York’s Daniel Ganitsky is global co-head of the M&A practice, and also has a fine record in cross-border M&A and private equity transactions in Latin America. São Paulo and New York-based Fábio Yamada provides further advisory, transactional and finance experience – particularly in relation to institutional investors, private equity and other alternative asset fund managers. While not solely focused on Latin America, associate Lauren S Kim impresses.
