Thiollier Comments on Growing Demand for Tech-Related Deal Work in Latin America

Partner Andre Thiollier was quoted in a Law.com International article, “Latin America Tech Frenzy Sparks Hiring Spree: Law firms are searching for U.S.-based lawyers who know the region and who embrace the velocity and complexity of tech deals,” about a ballooning of tech-related deal work in Latin America, bringing with it a greater demand for U.S.-based legal advice and talent.

Thiollier, whose practice is focused on tech in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, said international investors are especially concerned with shielding themselves from labor, tax and compliance issues. “We’re starting to see companies blowing out of the gate with billion-dollar valuations, and the market is becoming more and more mature,” he said.
