We know Latin America up close.

Different perspectives reveal different parts of the story.

Our team brings together experience from all sides: Latin American governments and companies, Washington and the multilateral development banks, and agencies and institutions in Europe, where we are also based. That mix lets us explain the region to those who want to work in it, explain them to the region, and connect the right people on both sides of the Atlantic. Most of our work starts from those differences, because that is usually where the opportunity is.

Why now

Between its natural resources, the shifts in global trade and new interest from investors, Latin America is entering a defining moment.

Practice

Four lines of work

01Economic security · AI · State reform

Strategic agendas for a new geopolitical era

Economic security, critical minerals, energy and AI are now at the center of how governments and investors make decisions.

  • Economic security: critical raw materials, supply chains, investment screening
  • AI adoption inside the state, and the regulatory frame around it
  • State reform and productivity: procurement, data, institutional capacity
  • Turning these agendas into financed, bankable programs

02Economic analysis

Reading the economy before the headline does

First-hand understanding of economic patterns and policy, read in their political context, country by country and across the region.

  • Economic policy analysis
  • Macro, fiscal and regulatory analysis, including debt sustainability
  • Sector analysis: markets, value chains and competition
  • Opportunities and structural constraints on productivity and growth
  • Regional patterns: what is common, and what is specific to each country

03Trade & market access

Trade and market access, from text to utilization

The practical, day-to-day work that starts once the negotiation is over.

  • Agreements in force or in modernization: Mercosur, Chile, Mexico, the Andean bloc
  • Rules of origin, tariff schedules and quota administration
  • Technical barriers, SPS conformity, EUDR and CBAM exposure
  • Utilization strategies by sector, country and subnational level

04Institutions & financing

Institutions, financing and the public-private bridge

We know how these institutions decide, from inside the room.

  • Introductions and connections between key players on both sides of the Atlantic
  • Multilateral banks: country strategies, pipelines, governance, timelines
  • European agencies, development finance institutions and impact investors
  • Positioning projects, firms and institutions for financing
  • Investment climate, project preparation and public-private coordination

Two views

The same issue, seen from inside and from abroad

Each side reads the same situation through its own lens, and both readings matter. A few examples of what we see again and again, from Brussels, Washington, the development banks and investors.

Both views are usually right. Our work is to bring them together.

Most of our work starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you want to move forward: a mandate, a transaction, a regulatory file, or a delegation that needs the right room. We bring the right perspective, people and solutions to the table.
