White & Case Strengthens Latin America Practice

New York, Mexico City, January 29, 2007 ... Effective January 1, 2007, global law firm White & Case LLP boosted its Latin America capabilities by naming three new partners to its Corporate Practice - Tomer Pinkusiewicz and John R. Vetterli in New York and Juan Antonio Martín in Mexico City.

Alexis Rovzar, head of the Firm's Latin America Practice, said: "Between representing global financial institutions, acting for Latin American companies that are raising capital or expanding internationally and advising companies that are active in the region, the marketplace is increasingly demanding. That is why we think it is important to further expand the capabilities of our practice."

New York

Tomer Pinkusiewicz is active in project finance, lending and capital markets transactions, primarily involving Latin American companies. He represents issuers and underwriters in a full range of transactions, including public offerings, Rule 144A and Regulation S offerings and private placements. Recently, he has specialized in hybrid securities and project finance deals, particularly in Argentina. Pinkusiewicz speaks Spanish, Hebrew and has a strong knowledge of French.
John R. Vetterli represents issuers and underwriters in a full range of equity and debt securities transactions, including global and domestic registered public offerings, Rule 144A/ Regulation S offerings and private placements. He has extensive experience in capital markets transactions involving Latin American issuers, as well as in tender offers and liability management transactions. Recently, he has represented issuers, selling shareholders and underwriters in IPOs by Brazilian issuers. Vetterli is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.

Mexico City

Juan Antonio Martín focuses his practice on securities offerings, financial transactions and M&A, with an emphasis on banking and securities matters. He has participated as issuer's counsel in several securities offerings by Mexican issuers, as well as in acquisitions of Mexican companies by local and foreign investors. Juan Antonio is fluent in English and Spanish.

White & Case's Latin American law practice has an established presence in Mexico City, Monterrey and São Paulo, working with teams in the Firm's New York, Miami and Washington, DC offices. The practice was recognized as one of the top two capital markets practices in Latin America in 2004, 2005 and 2006 by Latin Finance Magazine.
