For the first e-alert of 2016 of The Latin American Lawyer we bring you a round-up of the latest deals and other news in the Latin American legal market including Chile’s $2.7 billion bond offer where Shearman & Sterling and Philippi Prietocarrizosa & Uría advised the underwriters.
Elsewhere, Mexico was home to the first Latin American IPO of the year, with Paul Hastings being instructed by homebuilder Javer on its public issuance.
Despite jittery market conditions, law firms in the region continue to invest in talent with Hogan Lovells and Garrigues in Mexico, Philippi, Prietocarrizosa & Uría in Chile and Rodrigo, Elias & Medrano in Peru all adding new partners.
In other market moves, Elisabeth Eljuri, the former Head of Latin America at Norton Rose Fulbright, has left the firm and joined Sierra Oil and Gas, a Mexican energy company.
