Sidley Austin LLP‘s Miami office continues to establish itself in the Latin America market, particularly in emerging company and venture capital transactions. 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. Since publication, former practice head Juan Delgado has left the firm (effective as of December 2024), with the team subsequently bolstered by the arrival of Enrique Conde (from Holland & Knight LLP) in February 2025.
