Linklaters LLP is a global leader in M&A and has a fine record in Latin America deals. While the Latin America team is better known for other disciplines such as capital markets and project finance, it does have genuine M&A credentials, particularly in relation to cross-border Brazil deals and recent SPAC transactions. Sao Paulo partner Matthew Poulter led the team that advised Moolec Science (a Latin American science-based food ingredient company), on its business combination agreement with LightJump Acquisition Corp, a SPAC. He also advised Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp on its merger with NASDAQ-listed agricultural company Marrone Bio Innovations. Madrid-based managing associate Alberto García Linera heads the Mexico group.
