Conrado Tenaglia Named International Lawyer of the Year by Latin Lawyer

Linklaters Partner and Co-Head of its Latin America practice Conrado Tenaglia has been named Latin Lawyer’s 2024 International Lawyer of the Year.

The award recognizes Conrado’s strong presence in Latin America, in particular in its Southern Cone (Argentina and Chile), and leading profile through his deals work with large regional corporate groups (“multilatinas”) and sovereigns. 

 

Conrado has over 30 years of experience in cross-border corporate finance transactions, mostly unsecured and secured banking facilities, bond issues, liability management exercises, and debt restructurings. Recently, he advised the Republic of Chile on the world’s first sovereign sustainability-linked bond and first SLB with gender-related KPIs; the lead managers on CODELCO’s $2 billion bond issuance, and Argentina’s Tecpetrol, PanAmerican Energy and CGC in connection with financing their expansion plans in the Vaca Muerta shale gas reservoir (the world’s second largest).

Linklaters has practiced in Latin America for decades and has had an office in Brazil since 1997. With a growing team of Latin America-focused lawyers across the firm’s New York, Washington, D.C., and São Paulo offices, and the recent launch of its Mexico Group, the firm continues to increase its presence in the region and deepen existing relationships with leading local law firms. Linklaters is highly ranked across key Latin America legal directories, including Chambers, Legal 500, and Latin Lawyer. The practice also recently won two Bonds & Loans Deal of the Year awards.
