Holland & Knight LLP

Holland & Knight LLP benefits from a steady flow of Latin America inbound and outbound transactions. The firm has a sizeable on-the ground presence in both Colombia and Mexico, with the latter being bolstered by he hire of a 17-lawyer team from Sánchez Devanny in Mexico City and Monterrey; this has given the firm a boost in targeting investments into the industrial growth in northern Mexico as part of the nearshoring supply chain phenomenon. Inbound investments from Latin America into the US is a major trend for the team, particularly from Colombia, Peru and Chile (the latter especially in terms of the renewables sector); and the practice has been particularly active advising a series of Latin American family offices on investments into US real estate holdings and technology businesses. It has also represented Latin American hotel companies on investments into North America. Roberto Pupo chairs the Latin America practice group, which includes Aymee Valdivia, Enrique Conde, and Alexandra Aguirre who joined from Morrison Foerster in 2022; Aguirre has led teams on a number of deals since joining the firm, including Mediam Group’s sale of a minority stake to Adelph Group. Since publication, the practice group has been further strengthened with the raising of Daniel A Ramos to the partnership - effective as of January 2024. All named individuals are based in Miami.
