Overview
Emilio advises Latin American corporate, sovereign and quasi-sovereign clients on a variety of cross-border corporate and financial transactions, including public and private issuances of debt and equity securities, liability management transactions, restructurings, bilateral and syndicated loans, project financing, mergers and acquisitions, and compliance with SEC reporting obligations by foreign private issuers.
Emilio’s experience spans a range of sectors, including banking and financial institutions, oil and gas, infrastructure (and, in particular, energy-related infrastructure), power generation, telecoms, retail, IT, manufacturing and healthcare.
Emilio often acts as a trusted advisor for clients upon whom they can rely as a first port of call on all their transactions and legal requirements. Where he has the expertise, he takes the lead on the transaction or, where the transaction calls for other expertise, he brings in market-leading practitioners from within Linklaters or with lawyers in other trusted law firms to ensure a seamless service.
Emilio has been recognised as a “Next Generation Lawyer” by The Legal 500 Latin America and a “Rising Star” by Latinvex.
