Grant Kaplan Torres, Esq. (Director, Latin America) stated, “The formation of our Latin America focused initiative reflects our commitment to delivering superior guidance and expertise in an increasingly globalized economy. We are confident that our team’s extensive knowledge of both Latin American and U.S. legal frameworks will be invaluable to our clients in achieving their business objectives.”
EPGD Managing Partner Oscar A. Gomez summed up the internal initiative as follows: “ The firm has been making great relationships in Latin America over the last ten years with other professionals, foreign businesses, family offices and high net worth individuals. We want to make clear to those partners that we have a team committed to servicing their legal and business needs in the U.S. market and abroad. We have multiple attorneys that are barred in LatAm jurisdictions in addition to the U.S. and multiple attorneys that are highly proficient in Spanish and Portuguese so this is really just an outgrowth of our existing footprint.”
EPGD LatAm will attend the E-Merge Conference in Miami Beach in May 2025, and plans to visit with our clients and strategic partners in Colombia in Q2 2025.
