Clifford Chance

Clifford Chance has a formidable senior bench, spread across its New York and Sao Paulo offices. It continues to advise on a raft of deals spread across Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, and other jurisdictions. Its client base ranges from corporate issuers, investors and commercial lenders, to development finance institutions (DFIs) and governments. Jonathan Zonis is the former co-leader of the Latin America group and the Americas capital markets practice; he has an excellent record in sovereign issuances and continues to have a significant focus on Latin America. Hugo Triaca is another established name in high-yield and investment grade debt offerings, equity offerings, and both hybrid securities and liability management transactions. Sao Paulo’s Patrick Jackson covers capital markets, bank lending and liability management transactions; while Mariana Estévez is noted for energy and infrastructure transactions, including project bonds, and hybrid and multi-source financings. Sao Paulo-based counsel Anja Pfleger Andrade is another key member of the team. Named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
