Polsinelli opens Latin America practice
US law firm Polsinelli has launched a Latin America practice and recruited experienced corporate lawyer Emil R. Infante as shareholder in the firm’s Miami office, who will head the practice.
With an established corporate and cross-border law practice, Infante (pictured) brings significant experience in securities, financial regulation, banking, family office services, restructuring, cross-border transactions and international dispute resolution to Polsinelli’s national corporate and transactional practice. He represents Latin American businesses and families who are conducting business in Latin America and the United States.
“We are so pleased to have a lawyer of Emil’s skills and reputation in the community join our growing national team of corporate and transactions attorneys,” Polsinelli’s corporate and transactional practice chair Jonathan K. Henderson said. “Emil has deep experience in Latin American matters; we are confident in his ability to create and build our Latin America practice from the ground up, a unique opportunity that we know he looks forward to and will embrace.”
Infante brings significant experience with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), anti-corruption, anti-money laundering investigations and compliance within the US and Latin American markets. He advises sovereign nations, foreign companies and family groups conducting business nationally, and in both Latin America and the Caribbean on complex corporate and financial matters. He has counseled clients in multiple international litigation and arbitration matters, and has robust experience as an arbitrator involving insurance claims and insurance coverage disputes.
“Polsinelli’s prominent and respected national platform, reputation and client service-focused approach represent a unique opportunity to take my practice to the next level,” Infante said.
“I look forward to launching the firm’s Latin America practice, solidifying and expanding relationships with local law firms throughout the Caribbean and Latin America and working with clients on their most complex domestic and international issues in this new role.”
Infante joins Polsinelli’s newest office in Miami, comprised of attorneys who serve clients in the health care, real estate, financial services, logistics, litigation and conflict resolution and entertainment industries and provide a range of legal services.
