Everybody Samba!: NY Leader Opens in Brazil

Everybody Samba!: NY Leader Opens in Brazil
It is surprising that more US law firms are not focused more strongly on Latin America. The B in BRIC stands for Brazil after all, and there is a lot going on throughout the region. Simpson Thacher's move to Sao Paulo should be an interesting study for other firms who have an interest in the region. I continue to believe, however, that, unless there is a compelling reason to have a presence in a region, the best friends approach has great merit, particularly if done properly.
