Lawyer Rankings
Latin America: International firms > Capital markets
After a tumultuous 2023 which saw the departures of partner Grissel Mercado and counsel Maria Larsen, and the subsequent hire of former Linklaters LLP counsel, Alejandro Gordano, as a partner, the capital markets practice at the newly combined A&O Shearman has emerged with a bench of considerable strength. A senior figure, of counsel Antonia Stolper handles primarily US capital markets and global ECM work, but has a long history and strong profile across the Latin America region. David Flechner has built a strong reputation in Brazil, Mexico and other Latin American jurisdictions, covering a range of equity and debt transactions, including a number of IPOs and follow-on offerings in Brazil. New York’s Manuel Orillac and Sao Paulo-based Roberta Cherman are also key figures in the Latin America capital markets group; while the aforementioned Gordano is particulary experienced in ESG-segment capital markets mandates. More broadly, the team is making an impression in sustainability-linked bonds and ESG-related offerings in general, along with project bonds, where the capital markets department often works alongside colleagues in the project finance group. Since publication, Sao Paulo-based counsel Jonathan Lewis has left the firm – effective as of February 2024.
