10th Annual Private Equity 2019 | Latin Lawyer | 8 October 2019 | Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10017, USA

Private equity continues to find returns in Latin America. One sector seeing some of the biggest investments is technology. Ripe for further capital injections, these investments are set to continue; a roundtable on this topic will invite delegates to share their deal-making experiences. The conference will consider recent trends driving deal activity – such as the use of increasingly exotic deal structures to achieve greater returns. Anti-corruption is another defining feature of deal-making in the region that has amped up in recent years; a roundtable discussion invites delegates to consider the specific nuances that come into play when a private equity player is tainted by corruption, including the steps funds should take to manage internal repercussions of a crisis and alleviate the damage caused. Speakers on another panel will consider the latest developments in fundraising, including what regulatory updates across the region are helping to inspire greater confidence among institutional investors. In a new segment for 2019, we also invite representatives from private equity firms to walk us through their success exits in Latin America.
