Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP's dedication to Latin America brings it a wealth of inbound and outbound deal engagements, along with a number of intra-regional matters. It has an experienced team in Miami that has served the region for decades, complemented by colleagues in New York, Washington DC, Houston and elsewhere. The practice is particularly noted for cross-border financial institutions M&A, including Latin American banks acquiring assets in the US. It is also at the forefront of digital infrastructure deals, and is growing its presence in representing family offices and private equity funds; the firm has advised a series of Latin American family offices on their investments into the US and is increasingly active in fund formation engagements for Latin American financial institutions. Moreover, it is widely recognised for its advice to multilateral agencies in connection with their investments in Latin American entities. Long having had a focus on Central America, the Caribbean and the Andean region, the team is now gaining increasing profile in southern Latin America - particularly Chile.

Fernando Margarit is a leader in subsea and terrestrial networks, while Uriel Mendieta has further developed the team’s position in digital infrastructure deals and remains active on a broad range of corporate deals.
