Harneys featured as recommended firm in Latin Lawyer 250 guide

Harneys has once again been recognised as a recommended international firm in the Latin Lawyer 250 2019 guide.

Key individuals mentioned in the review include, London Partners Russell Willings are known to “add value in the BVI” and Rachel Graham “wins praise from clients for her deal making skills”. Montevideo Consultant Horacio Woycik and Harneys Fiduciary Managing Director of the Americas Maria Pia Buchi were also listed as key partners.

The guide praises Harneys for having “invested heavily and consistently in relationships, making it hard for others to enter the fray” and notes that “Harneys offers a good example of how hard work and dedication can pay off. As a result, 2018 has been a successful year and its deal list would support this. As well as helping Brazilian payment processor Stone Co raise US$1.5 billion through an IPO, the firm also acted for Banco do Brasil in its US$750 million public debt transaction, as well as the restructurings of Brazilian telecoms company Oi and construction group OAS.” The publication goes on to highlight the fact that these Brazilian debt taps total US$7 billion in April.

The Latin Lawyer 250 is the definitive guide to the leading business law firms of Latin America and is the result of 20 years of intensive research by Latin Lawyer's editorial team.
