Holland & Knight LLP has deep experience in Latin America capital markets transactions, particularly in Mexico, Central America and Argentina. The US-based capital markets team works closely with colleagues in Mexico City, notably in the real estate investment trust segment, where the firm represents Fibra Uno and others. The Latin America team has a history in Argentina, where it has represented a number of provinces in their capital raising exercises, and is now active in liability management transactions. Sustainability-linked bonds is another area of particular expertise, while the firm has also demonstrated its capabilities in the structured finance and securitisation field, including diversified payments rights transactions. The Latin America team has a mix of issuer and underwriter-side engagements. Based in New York, Stephen Double is an experienced Latin America expert, originally a capital markets specialist who now has a balanced practice of bank lending and capital markets work. New York associate Maria De Bedout is another key member of the team. Washington DC-based partner Tadeo Martinez joined the firm from Inter-American Development Bank in 2024, as did experienced associate Juan Mata, from Linklaters LLP, in January 2025.
