Latin America - Latin America: International firms
Greenberg Traurig LLP
Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s deep experience in SPAC transactions has enabled the firm to advise on a series of deals in Latin America, building on its already established presence in debt and equity offerings in the region. Among other matters, it advised DD3 Acquisition Corp II on its business combination with Codere Online, which operates in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Panama and Buenos Aires. The firm is also rated for project and infrastructure bonds, and future-flow securitisations. Marc Rossell is co-chair of the Latin America team and a veteran of capital markets deals in the region. Oscar Stephens is also a key figure, particularly for project and infrastructure bonds, structured finance and securitisation. Hired from an in-house position in October 2022, Steven Sandretto has subsequently left the firm - effective as of July 2023.
