With a vibrant Latin America Practice and premier Immigration attorneys, Foley’s Miami office provides sophisticated international legal services — including M&A, banking and finance, public finance, transactional work, and tax — that differentiate our firm in the marketplace. With a strong combination of legal experience, cultural fluency, and political sophistication, our Miami attorneys can readily serve the diverse needs of increasingly important, high-growth international markets such as Latin America.
Our Miami attorneys provide counsel and insight in all areas of corporate law, with particular skill and experience in the following areas:
A Focus on Latin America: Our multidisciplinary Latin America Practice has extensive experience representing U.S. and international clients doing business in the Americas. We have handled matters in every Latin American and major Caribbean country and have served as trusted advisors to clients ranging from large multinationals and sovereigns to entrepreneurs and prominent family groups. We can assist you with a comprehensive range of services: complex cross-border and international M&A transactions into and from the Americas; a broad range of international banking and financial or public finance matters; international tax structuring and estate planning; the representation of high-net-worth individuals with respect to inbound and outbound transactional work; public and private debt and equity vehicles in the United States or for Latin-American-focused funds; all aspects of both the public and private sides of Public Private Partnerships (P3) infrastructure projects throughout the United States and abroad; energy and infrastructure; hospitality; litigation involving cross-border disputes, white collar, internal investigations, or the FCPA; and public policy and government relations.
Immigration, Nationality, and Consular Law: Having served as immigration counsel to a wide range U.S. and international clients — public, private, and municipal — we appreciate the multi-dimensional role immigration matters frequently play across our firm's practices. For example, we frequently work in tandem with the seasoned attorneys in our Labor & Employment, Taxation, Business Law, and Litigation Practices. By employing the firm's varied professional disciplines, technical resources, and government contacts, we have acquired a reputation for strategic and successful immigration planning.
