Milbank has a prestigious history in Latin America, landing headline capital markets engagements in multiple jurisdictions, notably -of late- in Colombia, Chile and Peru. The firm has a major presence in energy and infrastructure financings, although is active across multiple sectors. Having a wide-ranging presence in equity and debt offerings, it continues to build its presence in investment grade and high-yield debt, project bonds, sustainability-linked bonds and bond restructurings. Global chair of the capital markets team and co-chair of the Latin America group, Marcelo Mottesi is especially active in Latin America equity and debt offerings from across the region. Carlos Albarracin is another key figure; his practice straddles bank debt and capital markets fundraisings, particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Tobias Stirnberg is a senior name in Sao Paulo where he has worked on numerous headline deals over the years, often alongside Fabiana Sakai, another capital markets specialist with more than 20 years’ experience.
