Morrison Foerster

Morrison Foerster’s expansion of its agency finance practice in 2021 has paid considerable dividends in relation to Latin America. The firm now frequently advises DFIs, multilateral lenders, ECAs and regional development banks in headline project financings. The team has achieved considerable market penetration in key markets such as Chile, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and the wider Central America region. Notably it has landed a series of wind and solar project engagements, along with road and port infrastructure, metro lines and telecoms infrastructure projects. Key clients include IDB Invest, US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) and International Finance Corporation (IFC). Greg Smith is a seasoned agency finance specialist with a considerable focus on Latin America. Ann Lilienthal is another key member of the Latin America-focused agency finance group. Both are based in Washington DC.
