Legal directory publisher The Legal 500 has recognized Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP’s Latin America & Caribbean Practice Team in its Latin America International Firms Corporate and M&A rankings published this week.

The Miami and New York-based attorneys recommended in the 2023 edition of The Legal 500’s Latin America Guide are:

• Caio G.H. Prado
• John Haley
• Jackson Hwu
• Leandro Molina

The Legal 500 noted: “The expanding team features a number of Brazilian natives, including co-head of the Latin America group Jackson Hwu who is an experienced figure in the country’s tech and venture capital sector. His team, which includes Leandro Molina and Caio Prado (in New York and Miami, respectively), represents a range of international and Latin American venture capital funds and a multitude of start-ups and emerging companies. The group has also landed a number of outbound deals for Brazilian clients looking to acquire assets in the United States. The wider Latin America group is also active in venture capital and M&A transactions across Latin America, notably Central America and the Caribbean. John Haley is co-head of the Latin America team and has extensive experience in corporate transactions in the region, especially in the energy and infrastructure sectors.”

Rankings reflect detailed analysis of law firm submissions and thousands of interviews with GCs and private practice lawyers, conducted by a team of experienced researchers, according to Editor Tim Girven.
