Arnold & Porter LLP announced that Gregory Harrington has joined the firm as a partner.  Harrington has extensive experience in international financial transactions in Latin America, particularly in the area of debt and equity capital markets, including sovereign debt and project finance.   He currently resides in São Paulo, Brazil, but will be returning to the United States by late spring.  He will then be working out of the Washington, D.C., and New York offices of the firm.  He is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.

“Greg’s expertise will strengthen Arnold & Porter’s international finance practice,” said firm Chair Thomas Milch.  “His background provides a strong fit with our corporate and financial services groups, and he will provide key support for our New York and London offices.  Our transactional practice in Latin America is expanding, and Greg’s on-the-ground experience there, especially in Brazil, will be incredibly valuable in servicing clients.”

 Harrington has significant experience in private practice, including work in New York, Madrid and São Paulo.  He has built a substantial practice involving finance-related transactions, including equity and debt issues, exchange offers and consent solicitations, bank loans, debt renegotiation and private placements.
