Firm overview

DLA Piper in Latin America’s Team offers full-service business legal counsel to domestic and multinational companies with interests in and operations throughout the region. Our integrated approach to serving clients combines local knowledge with the resources of the DLA Piper global platform. With over 400 lawyers practicing throughout Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico, in addition to our US-based cross-border attorneys, our teams frequently work with our professionals throughout the LatAm region, Iberian Peninsula, and around the globe.
A number of our lawyers were born or raised and educated in the region and are fluent in Spanish and/or Portuguese. Many have also practiced law in both the US and Latin America and are intimately familiar with civil law systems and with the cultural and legal nuances required to successfully do business in the region. Our strategic relationships on the ground throughout Latin America enhance our understanding of the region and enable us to provide our clients practical, meaningful legal advice. DLA Piper’s global platform of 90+ offices in more than 40 countries enables us to serve all of our clients’ legal needs, whether they are based in Latin America or wish to do business there.
The United States, specifically New York and Florida, has deep economic and cultural ties to Latin America. After many decades of being at the center of the most complex cross-border matters related to Latin America, New York law is firmly established as the most widely accepted applicable/governing law on cross-border transactions related to Latin America.
Our US based team of Latin America practitioners regularly acts as lead counsel on a wide range of cross-border matters in Latin America, ranging from complex capital markets, finance and M&A matters to public private partnerships and market entry and establishment issues.

Financial and corporate

DLA Piper, established in 2005 through the largest merger in legal history, combines Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich, Piper Rudnick, and DLA. This global law firm has offices worldwide, including Santiago, Chile. The Santiago office excels in banking and finance, capital markets, M&A, and project development. It represents lenders and borrowers in various finance matters, advises issuers on debt and equity, and handles bond issuances, fund formations, public offerings, and IPOs. The M&A team supports strategic acquisitions across industries, while the project development practice focuses on energy, infrastructure, mining, and real estate, guiding projects from financing to construction. 

 

Highlights 

DLA Piper Chile advised on numerous cross-jurisdictional deals, including assisting HSBC Bank Australia as the lender in a loan provision for the second amendment and restatement of a bilateral facility agreement. This loan is guaranteed by many of the debtor’s subsidiaries worldwide, including those in Chile. Additionally, they worked on significant capital markets transactions, such as advising Quiñenco, one of Chile’s largest and most diversified business conglomerates, on the placement of Series Z bonds under a line of credit registered with the CMF.
