COVID-19 Insights Series: A Regional Perspective – Latin America

  • Webcast

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Latin America on every level imaginable, creating not only social ramifications, but also altering how business will be conducted in the region moving forward. We had a multifaceted discussion featuring panelists Antonia Stolper (New York – Capital Markets) and Roberta Berliner Cherman (São Paulo – Capital Markets) as they addressed how the pandemic has affected Latin America within the context of their respective practice areas.

In addition to providing an overview of the current situation in the region, our panelists discussed:

  • How national governments are responding to the crisis
  • COVID-19’s effect on transaction flow, divestments, privatization timetable, and liquidity needs in Brazil
  • Short and long-term impact in the project development and finance space
  • Impact of COVID-19 emergency measures for potential investment treaty claims
