LATIN AMERICA PRACTICE

Lippman Jungers specializes in working with high-level partners with practices involving Latin America both in the United States and in Central and South America. As Latin American economies have grown explosively in recent years, Lippman Jungers has created a niche practice structuring deals for top-tier attorneys throughout the region. Our professionals have established law firms in Mexico City, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Caracas and Miami.

Lippman Jungers has unparalleled insight into what it takes for firms to be successful in Latin America. Using this international expertise, our recruiters discern culture and business strengths particular to each Latin American city to determine the right strategic partnership to benefit both parties involved. The ability to understand and integrate the country’s culture is a main driving force behind getting a deal done.
