DLA Piper’s Latin America Panorama 2024

Wednesday, January 24, 2024

On 24 January we hosted Latin America Panorama in Madrid to discuss the biggest trends and opportunities in Latin America for 2024.

This event was designed for senior executives from multiple industries who have interests in Latin America and our agenda included a host of eminent panelists and speakers.

There was an opportunity for attendees to network with their peers and with our partners from DLA Piper in Latin America and the US, as well as from Spain, Portugal and the rest of Europe, who were able to help them assess the opportunities and mitigate risks of doing business between Europe and Latin America over the next twelve months.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with any of the partners below. We look forward to seeing you at Latin America Panorama 2025.
