With nearly 20 years of experience, Squires offers deep insight into the legal and business dynamics of Latin America, with a particular focus on Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
His culturally attuned, business-driven approach has helped clients navigate complex cross-border financings, mergers and acquisitions, and capital markets transactions throughout the region.
Greenberg Traurig’s Latin America practice comprises more than 120 attorneys stationed across offices in São Paulo, Mexico City, and the United States.
