Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira - Practice Areas 

Latin American Desk

A recognized benchmark for transactions with Latin America

A preferred destination for direct foreign investment for many years, Latin America is also often the first choice for many Spanish and Portuguese companies when expanding abroad. It is also increasingly becoming a center for outbound investment and important regional transactions. Some industry and service sectors (e.g., infrastructures and the financial markets) and some of the practice areas in which we specialize (e.g., international arbitration and tax planning) are developing rapidly.

This means that the organization of our international practice by country-specific groups is at its best in Latin America.

Our Latin American country-specific groups are multidisciplinary groups, including lawyers of different nationalities from the firm’s different practice areas and offices, who share extensive and specific knowledge of each jurisdiction. These lawyers are also familiar with the social and economic reality of each jurisdiction, as well its business culture.

Also, Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira has been present in Brazil for over 10 years, with its own office in Sao Paulo, advising on investment and association projects in Brazil, following up on existing investments, advising local companies on international expansion projects, and advising on all types of transactions.

Thanks to the collaboration of our Latin American practice with the country-specific groups of other jurisdictions (e.g., China and the Middle East) and our international desks (e.g., the German Desk and the French Desk), we offer an efficient service, providing high-quality comprehensive advice on crossborder transactions based on specific knowledge of these jurisdictions.
