Latin America Practice
Empowering Latin American Startups for Global Success
Perkins Coie's knowledge and experience assisting startups across Latin America are reinforced by our deep understanding of the languages and cultures of the region.
We counsel companies at all phases of growth in the region’s dynamic technology ecosystem, supporting them on their path to success.
We collaborate with founders, management, boards, and investors to help them achieve their business goals. Among our areas of focus are rapidly developing technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, cryptocurrency, cybersecurity, proptech, and fintech. Our services include advising on issues involving cross-border transactions, product counseling, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations, tax counseling, and international breach response, in addition to providing day-to-day counsel.
The strength of our Latin American team is rooted in our deep regional knowledge. Many of our professionals are native or fluent Spanish and Portuguese speakers who bring invaluable perspectives gained from time living, studying, or working in the region.
