Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton led the Latin American capital markets advisory league table for international firms after the opening four months of the year, continuing where it finished off last year when it topped the annual ranking, according to data supplied by Ágora by LexLatin.
Cleary worked on 25 transactions during the period worth $35bn, more than three times higher by deal value than second placed Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, which advised on 18 deals worth just over $11bn. The overall pace of the region’s capital markets activity in the opening four months of the year slowed slightly compared to the same period in 2020, which wasn’t impacted by the coronavirus pandemic until midway through March of last year.
