A team from the Miami office of Fox Rothschild represented an international energy group in the successful acquisition of one of Ecuador’s largest independent oil operators in a transaction valued in excess of $80 million. Notably, this deal marks the first private leveraged buyout of an oil and gas company in Ecuador. This acquisition represents a significant strategic expansion for the client in Latin America’s energy sector.

With vast experience in complex cross-border transactions, the Fox Rothschild team guided the client through all phases of the transaction, including negotiations, due diligence, tax planning and advice and closing. The transaction reinforces the client’s position in the Latin American oil and gas market and underscores the Fox team’s strength in advising on outbound mergers and acquisitions throughout the region.

The Fox deal team was led by partners Scott M. Snyder and Thomas Oppenheimer and included attorneys from the firm’s Corporate, Energy and Latin America practices.
