The guide commends Ogier's "distinguished reputation" and "multidisciplinary approach", recognising a practice that has built on its longstanding Brazilian relationships and investment funds work to now support businesses, investors and financial institutions across a wide range of legal and transactional matters.  

It also describes the firm’s private wealth specialists as "industry experts", reflecting Ogier’s work with investment managers, high-net-worth individuals and family offices.    

"We are pleased to see the performance of our Latin America practice recognised across multiple disciplines. What began as a practice widely regarded for its strength in investment funds has evolved alongside our clients’ needs, bringing together specialists from across Ogier’s global network to advise on complex cross-border transactions, investments and restructurings involving Latin America,” said Thomaz Monteiro, Ogier's head of client development for Latin America.

Latin Lawyer highlights the leadership of Latin America practice co-heads Giorgio Subiotto and Tim Cone, citing their complementary expertise and the practice’s combination of regional knowledge and international reach. It notes Giorgio’s deep understanding of the Brazilian market and long-standing client relationships, alongside Tim’s prominence among general counsel, particularly in private equity, building on his recognition in the latest LACCA Approved rankings, where he was again identified as the leading choice among general counsel. 

Other partners singled out include James Heinicke, praised for his expertise in fund finance, restructurings and complex cross-border transactions, and Marie-Claire Fudge, recognised for her experience advising on investment funds and regulatory matters.
