Greenberg Traurig opens office in SP to expand presence in Latam
Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has opened an office in São Paulo, Brazil, furthering its presence in Latin America – a region it has served since its founding in Miami more than 50 years ago.
The São Paulo office – the firm’s 48th location – will continue to provide U.S. law advice to clients seeking to do business in Brazil, as well as to Brazilian clients considering expansion in the United States and globally. Greenberg Traurig’s Brazil Practice acts as foreign legal counsel under U.S. law and does not practice Brazilian law, according to local regulations.
“Our firm’s growth has always been strategically focused on locations that allow us to better serve our clients, and this office positions the firm to continue helping our clients do business in Latin America’s largest market,” said CEO Brian L. Duffy (pictured left) and Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum (pictured right) in a joint statement.
Greenberg Traurig’s Brazil Practice assists clients with inbound and outbound cross-border transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, real estate, tax and venture capital or other financings.
Greenberg Traurig’s Brazil Practice team draws on the experience of the Latin America practice and the extensive resources of its more than 2,750 lawyers worldwide to navigate complex regulatory environments. For matters related to Brazilian law, the firm maintains close relationships with leading local law firms, many of which include alumni of Greenberg Traurig’s International Associates Program, which for more than 30 years has welcomed talented lawyers from Latin America to work at the firm before returning to their home countries.
The firm’s Latin America practice advises clients doing business in Spain, the Caribbean and almost every country in the region, including Mexico, where the firm’s Mexico City office has more than 60 bilingual lawyers working in more than 20 practice areas.
