Violeta Libergott has significant experience in M&A, private equity, and other cross-border corporate transactions, with a particular focus on transactions involving private and public companies in Latin American markets, particularly Brazil.

She has worked with clients such as Verizon, NII Holdings, and General Electric in multijurisdictional transactions.
Violeta also has experience representing leading global companies in their internal corporate investigations involving Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), money laundering, and corruption matters.
