Why NEXT Legal

NEXT Legal PLLC (“NEXT”) is a boutique US law firm renowned for its high-quality legal services, with a preeminent cross-border transactional practice. The firm is engaged by a diverse range of clients, both domestic and international, including entrepreneurs, investment funds, family offices, startups, and established companies, most of which are based or have substantial operations in Latin America.

NEXT offers expert legal advice in structuring and negotiating inbound and outbound investments, VC and private equity transactions and M&A deals. The team of attorneys, most of whom are dual licensed in the US and Latin America or Europe, have unparalleled experience in guiding clients through the various stages of the business life cycle, from handling small convertible note/SAFE financing rounds, to navigating complex venture capital-backed equity rounds, skillfully helping our clients raise capital in the US and international private and public markets.

Additionally, NEXT also advises several investment funds based in Latin-America with fund formation and management matters, as well as with their investment in portfolio companies in Latin-America and the United States. In fact, since its inception, the firm has advised on early-stage and late-stage venture capital investments worth more than $2 billion.

For these reasons, NEXT has quickly positioned itself as a leading player in Latin America and an invaluable resource for foreign clients and firms seeking support and advice in their US-law governed transactions. The numerous referrals they receive daily, including from new and existing clients, law firms, governmental institutions, and other key industry players across Latin America and around the world, attest to the quality of their work.
