Axel MirandaSidley Austin LLP

Sidley Austin LLP is at the forefront of fund formation in Latin America. It covers funds based in or targeting the entire region, achieving considerable growth in the Brazil market. Buyout funds, venture capital funds, and climate change and impact funds form much of the practice, which has experienced further growth in co-investment vehicle engagements. Along with fund formation, the firm is also active in investments and M&A, notably in the fintech, agtech, edtech, and food and beverages sectors. Energy, life sciences, real estate and sports are also key industries. New York-based Alyssa Grikscheit is a leader in Latin America fund formation with the majority of her practice focused on the region. Boston’s Alexander Temel and Daniel Rawner are also active in private equity investments in Latin America, while Miami’s Juan Delgado and associate Axel Miranda are noted for venture and growth capital investments.

Sidley Austin LLP‘s Miami office continues to establish itself in the Latin America market, particularly in emerging company and venture capital transactions. Following the hire of Juan Delgado in August 2022, the office has represented SoftBank Latin America Fund on a series of investments, including some of the largest-ever venture funding rounds in the region. With a primary focus on Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, the team remains active in strategic investments, joint-ventures and disposals, and works closely with other offices across the US as necessary, notably fund formation specialists in New York, such as Alyssa Grikscheit. Axel Miranda is a senior managing associate in the team and has had a key role in many of the Miami office’s notable Latin America engagements.
