Proskauer Rose LLP's Latin America-focused teams in New York and Sao Paulo have landed a substantial number of issuer and underwriter clients. Much of the practice centres on debt and equity issuances in Brazil, along with further offerings by issuers in other large Latin American economies. Moreover, the team has moved into the token offering space and continues to advise on private placements and liability management transactions. Antonio Piccirillo is head of the Sao Paulo office and a versatile practitioner with an established record in bank financings and capital markets offerings. Based in New York, Carlos Martinez is head of the Latin America practice and has long-focused on the region, including a range of debt and equity offerings for issuers and banks. David Fenwick and Fábio Yamada are also senior names. Individuals are based in Sao Paulo unless stated otherwise.
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Over the years, we have made several bond issues. In all of them we have worked with Carlos Martinez. Carlos not only has more than 30 years of experience, but he stands out mainly for being someone who never loses sight of the client's objective, which is to close the transaction as soon as possible and with the necessary protections. Carlos does not get lost in marginal details and knows how to focus the work group on important issues. Carlos also thinks “out of the box” and gives us perspectives and good ideas that normally should come from consultants or bankers.’
‘Incredible depth of knowledge, responsiveness, strong technical skills coupled with a very practical mindset.’
