Cleary Gottlieb partner Chantal Kordula and associates Kiki Manzur and Nicole Mueller co-authored the chapter “A Practical Guide to Ensuring Success in Latin American Partnerships: Navigating Government Relationships,” in the seventh edition of The Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions, published by Latin Lawyer.
Latin America and the Caribbean represent one of the world’s largest infrastructure investment opportunities, with roughly $250 billion in annual demand that the public sector cannot meet alone. Over the past decade, a growing number of jurisdictions have overhauled their legal frameworks to attract private capital on more investor-friendly terms. However, favorable legislation is only the starting point. In this publication, Chantal, Kiki, and Nicole offer practical guidance for private investors seeking to build successful, sustainable relationships with Latin American governments.
