Legal directory publisher The Legal 500 has recognized Nelson Mullins Broad and Cassel and the firm’s Miami-based attorneys in its new Latin America 2019 Guide, which was published in mid-September.

According to The Legal 500: Nelson Mullins Broad and Cassel is noted for sponsor-side project finance, tax and private wealth matters, and white collar and FCPA issues. The firm has also made an impression in Latin America M&A and private equity investments. The Miami office has achieved particular market recognition in toll road and PPP projects, notably in Honduras and the Dominican Republic, thanks in part to the presence of New York-licensed John Haley, who joined the firm as part of its merger with Broad and Cassel in August 2018. In tax and private wealth, Mauricio Rivero has a strong practice in inbound and outbound investments from and into Latin America. Representing a range of high net-worth individuals from El Salvador, Colombia, Chile and other Latin American jurisdictions, he frequently advises on trust structures and foundations for passing wealth to US-based beneficiaries. In white-collar crime and FCPA matters, of counsel Jon Sale is an experienced practitioner in cases that are linked to Latin America. Carlos Loumiet is another experienced figure in power, transport infrastructure and telecoms projects in Latin America, particularly in Central America, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.

Each year, the editor of The Legal 500 Latin America meets with law firms in the United States and South America to learn more about their work, as well as trends and developments affecting the region.
