K&L Gates LLP has opened an office in S'o Paulo, Brazil, the firm's first in South America and 39th worldwide. Leading the launch of the office are New York finance partner Marc J. Veilleux and Washington, DC/London corporate and securities partner Alan J. Berkeley. The S'o Paulo office is licensed as a foreign legal consultancy, as required by the Brazilian Bar Association.

“Brazil is a dynamic and growing economy, home to many of Latin America's most significant companies, its largest stock market, and in recent years, its most ambitious infrastructure projects,” stated Veilleux. “Many of our clients have identified Brazil as central to their global operations and strategy and we fully expect the country to be a continued recipient of significant inbound investment. We also believe that the trend of Brazilian companies investing abroad will only continue to accelerate in future years. We are excited that our S'o Paulo office will allow us to better serve our clients in this important economy and throughout Latin America.”
