Latin America

Cooley works with startups to launch new ventures and take them forward. We have been a key player since the VC industry began, having formed the first venture fund in the US in Silicon Valley. Clients who partner with us get the advantage of extensive experience, true teamwork, and an entrepreneurial culture that helps build businesses and trust to transform breakthrough ideas into successful companies. Cooley also has unparalleled access to the largest and most influential network of venture capital investors in the world.

Our work with emerging companies in Latin America spans the full legal spectrum. We advise companies from formation through venture financings, private equity financings, mergers and acquisitions, and public offerings – and everything in between and beyond. Cooley has been counsel to some of the biggest names in the Latin American technology space since their infancy. Clients trust us because our experience advising the most dynamic venture-backed companies in the region has given us unique insights into Latin America’s business and cultural landscapes.

Our team’s multidisciplinary approach provides clients in Latin America with access to thought leaders in complex areas where the law is in a constant state of flux, including fintech regulatory counseling, transactional, alternative lending, digital currency and blockchain technology, payments, cyber/data/privacy, intellectual property, tax, and more.
