14 OPPORTUNITIES IDENTIFIED BY MI FIRMS


ARGENTINA - Insight supplied by ZBV Abogados

  • Oil and gas

  • Critical minerals

Argentina’s growing production of oil, gas and critical minerals is bringing infrastructure, finance, logistics, technology and long-term supply arrangements into the picture alongside extraction itself.


CHILE - Insight supplied by Prieto Abogados

  • Energy storage

A strong copper investment pipeline and rapid battery-storage deployment are creating opportunities across finance, construction, equipment, power, water and specialist services.


COLOMBIA - Insight supplied by Parra Rodríguez Abogados

  •  Clinical research and life sciences

Colombia’s talent base and location are supporting regional business operations alongside an established clinical-research sector, bringing legal questions around employment, data, technology, regulation and cross-border contracting.


COSTA RICA - Insight supplied by Alta Batalla

  • Medical devices

  • Semiconductors and advanced electronics

Costa Rica’s specialist manufacturing base now stretches from a mature medical-device cluster into semiconductors, advanced electronics, engineering and related services.


DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - Insight supplied by Cáceres Torres Abogados

  • Tourism and mixed-use development

  • Renewable energy and storage

Tourism remains one of the Dominican Republic’s strongest routes for foreign investment, with continued hotel, resort, branded-residence and mixed-use development. At the same time, renewable generation is expanding and new rules are putting greater emphasis on solar, storage and grid integration.


MEXICO - Insight supplied by Bello, Gallardo, Bonequi y García, S.C. (BGBG)

  • Data centres

  • Fintech and digital payments

Nearshoring is increasing demand for more than factories and industrial parks. Data capacity, power, fibre, payments and financial infrastructure are becoming part of the same conversation as businesses build or expand operations within North American supply chains.


URUGUAY - Insight supplied by Bado, Kuster, Zerbino & Rachetti (BKZ&R)

  • EU-Mercosur

  • Data centres and digital infrastructure

The EU-Mercosur interim trade agreement gives companies trading between Europe and South America reason to review sourcing, customs and distribution arrangements. Uruguay is also attracting significant digital-infrastructure investment, supported by connectivity, free-zone incentives and its data-protection environment.

USE IT WITH YOUR CLIENTS

The full briefing goes further than identifying the opportunity. It suggests the clients who may benefit, questions worth raising with them and the areas where legal advice may be required.

Most importantly, it gives you a direct route to your trusted, local MI firm in each jurisdiction.

If something here resonates or piques interest, start the conversation.
