Testimonials

  • ‘Very much client service driven.’

  • ‘Dan Ganitsky is the point of contact for Latin America, who is intimately familiar with the market and the essence of business and M&A.'

  • ‘Proskauer is our go-to law firm for capital markets and fund formation. They have been our trusted advisors on these matters since 2017, and we have built a great business relationship. What separate them from the pack is their knowledge of the Brazilian market and how to handle our idiosyncrasies in the fund documents. They are easy to work with, very reliable and overall great in what they do. ’

  • ‘Daniel Ganitsky and Monica Arora - they stand out for the same reasons as Proskauer stands out as a firm. They know us and the Brazilian market very well. They are genuinely interested in understanding our business and long-term objectives, as well as how we want to position ourselves before the market. Great team.’
