Mayer Brown is one of the most active international law firms in Latin America/Caribbean today. We established our Latin America Practice Group in 1991 and in 2007 opened an office in São Paulo, Brazil building upon on the firm's 15-year track record in the region.
Today, more than forty partners and associates offer our clients regional expertise in capital markets, securitization and structured finance, real estate and corporate transactions. We also represent clients in cross-border legal disputes and advise major Latin American companies on their US securities law reporting requirements and obligations under Sarbanes-Oxley.
Most members of our Latin America/Caribbean Practice Group are fluent in Spanish or Portuguese. In addition, in Mexico, we regularly collaborate with Jáuregui, Navarrete y Nader, S.C., which is one of the largest and most sophisticated corporate law firms in Mexico, specializing in corporate, securities, finance, and intellectual property work.
