Join us in Miami in November! Costa Rican law firm opens in Madrid

 

At The Latin American Lawyer we are sending thoughts, prayers and solidarity with everyone affected by the earthquakes in Mexico and Guatemala and by hurricanes Irma, Jose and Maria throughout the Caribbean and Florida. 

In legal news this week, PPU provided local counsel in Peru to Westfalia Fruit on a $90 million loan and Rodrigo Elias & Medrano acted for the lenders. Chilean wood manufacturer Masisa retained Carey and Pinheiro Neto on the sale of its Brazilian subsidiary while in Mexico, Grupo Aeroportuario de la Ciudad de Mexico issued $4 billion in green bonds to finance the construction and development of the new Mexico City International Airport and Cleary Gottlieb, Galicia Abogados, Jones Day and Paul Hastings worked together on the deal: 

Meanwhile, Central American law firm BLP opened a representative office in Madrid. It is the second firm from that region to do so after Pacheco Coto launched in the Spanish capital in 2013. 

There is still time to take part on our research about the use of technology in law firms. Survey is available here for managing partners and other leaders. 

The Latin American Lawyer will be in Miami in November with two events. Keep an eye on the calendar here for updates. 

If you are attending the 15th ICC Miami Conference on International Arbitration let us know!
