Linklaters LLP

Linklaters retains a strong focus on Latin America with a core team of professionals whose practices include a significant caseload in the region. It stands out for capital markets-driven financings, including those undertaken for energy, natural resources and infrastructure clients; it is also recognised for its expertise in green and sustainability-linked bonds. In addition, it has a solid background in conventional project finance and recently advised ENGIE Energía Perú on an up to $300m loan from IDB and IDB Invest. Other major mandates included advising Fluxys on its joint acquisition (with EIG) of major Chilean LNG regasification terminal GNL Quintero, from Enagas Chile and OMERS Infrastructure. Michael Bassett has a background in energy-related project financings, including offshore oil and gas, LNG and renewables. Andrew Compton (who was part of the team advising Fluxys), and counsel Alejandro Gordano provide further senior level expertise. All are based in New York.
