Washington, D.C., 23 May 2025 -- Global law firm Hogan Lovells is pleased to announce that it has been recognized in multiple categories at the Latin Lawyer Deal of the Year Awards 2025, celebrating the firm's leadership in innovative and high-impact cross-border matters.

The firm was honored for its role advising on two major deals:

Enel on the sale of its energy distribution business from Enel Peru to CSGI, awarded Latin American M&A: Private Companies Deal of the Year, and
Americanas gets Chapter 15 approval for restructuring plan, awarded Latin American Restructuring Deal of the Year.

Winners were announced at a ceremony held earlier this month in São Paulo, Brazil. The awards recognize excellence in dealmaking, innovation, and leadership across Latin America's bond markets. Read more about the awards here.

These accolades highlight the strength of Hogan Lovells’ presence in Latin America and underscores the firm’s experience navigating complex cross-border deals. Throughout the Enel deal, a cross-practice, cross-border team of Hogan Lovells lawyers worked seamlessly with Enel’s in-house team and local counsel to reach a multi-billion dollar enterprise value outcome that was one of the largest cross-border deals in Latin America in 2024. This deal was led by partner Luca Picone.

In the Americanas restructuring, Hogan Lovells fielded a cross-jurisdictional and cross-practice team which advised the indenture trustee which acted with respect to $1 billion of bonds in the high-profile restructuring/chapter 15 case of Brazilian retailer Americanas. The Americanas team was led by partners Ronald Silverman and Rob Ripin.
