Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown has stood out for its focus on Latin America energy and infrastructure over many decades. It continues to land sizeable engagements in many of the traditional sectors, such as power generation and transport infrastructure, and has achieved further growth in energy transition projects. The firm has demonstrated a solid record in various project financings, project and infrastructure bonds, and hybrid and securitisation-driven financings. It advises a mix of lenders and project sponsors. Washington DC’s Christopher Erckert has a long history of working on Latin America projects with an emphasis on energy and infrastructure financing, development, and restructuring of conventional and renewable power generation, water and transport sectors. Chicago-based Douglas Doetsch is another experienced transport infrastructure financing expert, while Washington DC partner Gabriela Sakamoto is another Latin America specialist with an emphasis on energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure. Colombia native Juan Pablo Moreno is experienced in projects and transactions across the region and Houston’s Gabriel Salinas focuses on energy transition, infrastructure, renewables and power; while Chicago-based Nathan Galer is playing an increasingly prominent role in Latin America renewable energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure projects. Since the conclusion of research, Erckert has left the firm.
