Hogan Lovells adds leading finance lawyer to New York office
Global law firm Hogan Lovells is pleased to announce that Ben Garcia has joined the firm’s Finance practice as a partner in New York.
Garcia joins the firm from Milbank, where he was special counsel in the Capital Markets Group. He advises leading financial institutions, investment banks, private equity sponsors and corporate issuers in domestic and cross-border offerings of debt and equity securities. As part of his practice, he advises financial institutions and multinational companies on a wide range of infrastructure-related projects in Latin America.
Garcia has led a number of the most prominent recent capital markets transactions in Latin America. He has represented major sponsors and investment banks in project financings in the oil and gas, transportation and renewables sectors in Mexico, Peru, Chile and Colombia. He has worked on transactions ranging from investment grade offerings of debt and equity securities to high yield and structured bonds throughout Europe and Latin America, as well as sovereign offerings by the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. Additionally, Garcia has experience advising on M&A transactions, commercial financings and leveraged buyouts. He is fluent in Spanish and German.
Garcia’s arrival follows several high-profile additions to the New York office last year, including leading sports transactions lawyer Michael Kuh, and Peter Marta, former global head of the legal cybersecurity team at JPMorgan Chase.
Garcia earned his J.D. from Columbia University School of Law and an A.B. from Harvard University in Government.
