Brazil Practice Group
For decades, the attorneys of Duane Morris' Brazil Practice Group have advised clients doing business in, raising capital and investing in Brazil, as well as working with Brazilian companies and subsidiaries transacting business in the United States and elsewhere. A significant number of the group's clients are financial institutions for whom the group advises on both transactional and regulatory matters.
The ramp-up in Brazil in preparation for their hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro will bring construction, technology, infrastructure and other investment to unprecedented levels. Many businesses will be expanding operations in Brazil or venturing into the market for the first time, creating an even greater need for counsel experienced in the specifics of doing business in Brazil.
The group's experience in Brazil covers various areas including transactional services assisting both U.S. and non-U.S. based businesses in setting up and maintaining a wide variety of financial, commercial and industrial operations, as well as negotiating and documenting secured and unsecured credit facilities, hedge funds, cross-border distribution and supply agreements, loan syndications, commercial paper offerings, structured financings, Eurodollar note offerings, letters of credit financing, offshore companies and trusts.
Attorneys in Duane Morris' offices in the U.S., Europe and Asia work together, and collaborate with local counsel, to develop innovative solutions to help clients explore business opportunities throughout the world. The Brazil Practice Group maintains relations with a wide range of local counsel throughout Latin America ranging from the largest firms to small boutique firms.
Duane Morris' Brazil Practice Group includes attorneys who speak Spanish, Portuguese and French, as well as English. They often can bring an understanding of the local legal field, culture and business trends, together with the resources of a large, international law firm. One of our attorneys worked with the Agency for International Development in Bolivia and Brazil and served as Latin American Counsel for one of the world's largest corporations for nearly a decade. Other Duane Morris lawyers are leaders in international bar and business groups and devote their practice to the specifics of doing business in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America.
