‘Having been working in the Latam capital markets space for almost a decade, Milbank continues to get stronger and stronger. They have savvy and reliable partners, but the thing that sets them apart is that they have senior associates that stand apart from other firms. They tend to be collaborative, as well as thoughtful in addressing issues. They are supported by strong specialists in the domestic capital markets, project finance, high yield and other specialty areas so they can source that gloss and apply it to fit the needs in the Latam space.’
‘The Milbank team has reliable team members below the partnership level, though Marcelo Mottessi and Carlos Albaracin are trusted advisors. This includes Gonzalo Guitart, as well as Andres Osornio. The baseline quality of work is higher than at other firms, so the focus is able to be on more complex matters, which the Milbank team handles confidently and adeptly. Gonzalo in particular is such a relied upon resource, and the feedback across the market is that he is a go-to for most, including across the table.’
