Latin America - Latin America: International firms
Holland & Knight LLP
Holland & Knight LLP has a longstanding presence in Latin America banking and finance matters. With a number of finance specialists that have a major focus on the Latin America market, it has attracted a wealth of financial institution clients and routinely lands significant engagements. Much of the Latin America finance team sits in New York and Miami. In New York, Stephen Double is a vastly experienced Latin America expert with a fine record in syndicated lending, acquisition finance, project finance, structured finance and trade finance. Phillip Durham splits his time between New York and Chicago and is a leader in equipment and aviation finance (indeed the firm has a burgeoning record in the latter segment); he led the team that acted for aircraft leasing companies in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of LATAM Airlines. New York and Miami-based Norberto Quintana has close connections to a number of major lenders and is a prominent figure in energy and infrastructure finance, including Colombian toll road projects.
