Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown's longstanding commitment to Latin America, including capital markets transactions, has paid considerable dividends. It continues to expand its presence in representing issuers, underwriters and placement agents in high-yield and investment grade bonds, medium and short-term notes, private placements and project bonds. The Latin America team has particularly solid connections to international and regional financial institutions that serve the Latin America market. It has increased its exposure to Brazil offerings through its partnership with Tauil & Chequer Advogados and has cemented its position in Mexico through its Mexico City office. Chicago partner Douglas Doetsch specialises in infrastructure financings and future cash flow securitisations; he continues to advise on numerous diversified payment rights transactions in the region. David Bakst is a key name for equity offerings, especially follow-on offerings in Brazil. Washington DC-based Gabriela Sakamoto is noted for project bonds, private placements and securitisations. Licensed to practice in Colombia, New York and Illinois, Juan Pablo Moreno is also active in diversified payment rights programmes across Latin America. Milena Muradian is a key capital markets associate, and is admitted to practice in Brazil and New York. Named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
