Arnold & Porter

Arnold & Porter is widely known for its representation of sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities but also acts for an extensive list of corporate and financial institution clients in Latin America. It has a particularly strong record in Brazil, where team members have worked on a range of project finance, acquisition finance, export prepayment and trade finance, and general corporate lending mandates. The practice is also noted for derivatives, structured finance and securitisations, including future flow diversified payments rights (DPR) transactions. More generally, firm has continued to advice sovereign governments and central banks on major financings, regulatory matters and disputes. Washington DC’s Gregory Harrington and Whitney Debevoise  have extensive sovereign connections, bringing a wealth of engagements; while New York’s Christopher Willott has a fine record in Brazil financings. Raul Herrera (a former IDB General Counsel) has a 25 year track record and experience across the LatAm and Caribbean regions; he and counsel Arturo Caraballo are also key members of the team.
