This project was initi ally conceived during the A BA 2009 Spring Meet ing in Wash-

ington, D.C., when the editors put forward t he suggestion to the ABA P ublications

Committee. T his second edition was a result of the g reat success of the first edition

published in 2011, as well as of the continued economic growth of the S outh Amer-

ica region. This project was m ade possible thanks to the support a nd full commit-

ment of the invited country coordi nating authors, and we are delighted with the

result.

Putting together t his publication has called for a g reat deal of determinat ion

and enthusiasm. The work done by each of the country coordinating authors,

coauthors, and contributors is acknowledged in each of the chapters . We wish to

express our gratitude to each law yer who contributed to the preparation of this

book through the countr y coordinating authors.

The section’s publications officer, Catherine Doll, and ABA Publishi ng’s Rich-

ard Paszkiet and Kimberly Rosen field provided invaluable support and contributed

enormously from the inception of this bo ok to its publication. In our role as edi-

tors, we also enjoyed the full support of other law yers from our firm, B arretto

Ferreira e Brancher– Sociedade de Advogados (BKBG), for the preparation of the

chapter on Brazil. A warm tha nks to all of them.

The chapters of this book are t he result of the hard work, persistence, a nd

cooperation of a highly experienced and skilled team of law yers. We hope that

readers will rely on the content of this g uide when considering doing business i n

South America.
