In Brazil, it was hoped that President Rousseff’s impeachment would bring several months of uncertainty to an end, but some would argue that the new government is just as unstable as Rouseff’s was, and the country continues to face significant macro-economic and political challenges. In Argentina, the new government seems certainly more “market friendly” than the prior Kirchners’ administrations; but can it really deliver on its promises without causing massive political backlash? These two economies continue to be challenged on a variety of fronts; yet we are seeing promising signs of a renewed interest in investing in Brazil and Argentina to take advantage of lower valuations and future growth opportunities. Which sectors are targeted by investors? How are investors dealing with the continuing political risk and the uncertainty regarding liabilities from the past? What approaches and structures are used to limit their economic exposure while dipping their toes in the water again?

Join us as we bring to our breakfast roundtable a select group of leading practitioners from the legal and investment banking industries in the U.S., Argentina and Brazil, to discuss these and other questions relevant to PE and strategic investors alike, as they consider investments in these important Latin American markets.
