Proskauer Rose LLP

Mehr Information
Proskauer Rose LLP‘s Latin America practice is largely located in New York and São Paulo. It has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to the region, including deals in the mining and metals, financial services, energy and natural resources, forestry & paper, life sciences, real estate, technology and telecoms sectors. The New York office has worked on a series of headline and high-value deals, including advising Jaime Gilinski on his contentious bid for a majority interest in Grupo Nutresa, Colombia’s largest food maker. The São Paulo office features a number of native Portuguese speakers and long-term residents (including both UK and New York qualified lawyers), with the team making further headway in private equity and venture capital transactions, along with fund formation engagements. In New York, veteran regional specialist Carlos Martinez leads the Latin America group and can draw on more than 35 years’ transactional experience. Also in New York, Daniel Ganitsky is global co-head of the private equity and M&A group, and a key member of the Latin America team. São Paulo’s Fábio Yamada is noted for fund formation and investments in private investment funds and buy-side secondary transactions. Since publication, Carlos Martinez has retired.
