Jones Day has deep connections to Latin America, through its Miami, New York, Houston, Washington DC, Madrid, Mexico City and São Paulo offices, among others. It has a history of representing US and Europe-based clients in headline investments and acquisitions in the region, although it is now increasingly active on outbound transactions by Latin American businesses; it recently advised Agencias Universales (AGUNSA) on the acquisition of a 75% equity interest in Carver Maritime Manatee, a terminal operator at SeaPort Manatee, Florida. The Mexico City and other international offices are increasingly active in transactions connected to the nearshoring sector in Mexico. New York’s Wade Angus has over 25 years' experience in mid-cap and bulge-bracket M&A, private equity, joint ventures and restructuring transactions in Latin America, including advising Sanofi on the sale of 11 Dermacyd line products in Brazil and 13 Lactacyd line products in Mexico, Peru, and Argentina to Grupo NC. Manuel Romano is another key figure in Mexico City, as is Luis Vélez in Miami. Of counsel Artur Badra provides further senior expertise in São Paulo.
