Our Partners, with over 30 years of experience in Latin America, provide tailored services to our French and foreign clients operating in the region, including Brazil, in Portuguese, or the rest of Latin America, in Spanish.

We also offer support in securing financing for your projects through our partnerships with Private Equity firms, international financial institutions and international public institutions, which provide subsidies or competitive loans in support of foreign investments.

In addition, we provide support to European companies in drafting calls for tenders for infrastructure projects, including motorways, bridges, dams, ports, railways, airports, as well as energy, mining, telecommunications, water and sanitation projects, and emerging sectors related to energy transition and environment.

On a more general level, we assist our clients in their investments of all kinds, integrating risk prevention in line with our firm’s DNA.

As part of our services, we conduct preliminary analysis of bilateral or multilateral investment protection instruments, review and advise on dispute resolution clauses, and potential tax implications when negotiating and drafting contracts, with the aim of securing and optimising investments.

We extend our expertise to assist Latin American companies with their investments in Europe and Africa, with the same level of attention and dedication.

Our attorneys also have proven experience in arbitration and mediation, as counsels, arbitrators and mediators, in disputes involving Brazilian and Latin American public and private companies, or foreign companies in Latin America or Brazil.
