Boutique Law Firm to Focus on Cross-Border Transactional and Litigation Matters Opens in Miami
Juan Pablo Cappello, senior shareholder at Greenberg Traurig's Latin America Practice, together with Greenberg litigation associate Jaime Guttman and corporate associate Jason Stark and the former deputy general counsel for Dufry AG, Jackson Hwu, launch Private Advising Group, P.A.
MIAMI, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Juan Pablo Cappello, Jaime Guttman, Jason Stark and Jackson Hwu have announced the launching of Private Advising Group, P.A., a boutique law firm with international capabilities focused on representing domestic and international clients in corporate, finance, venture capital/private equity, litigation and dispute resolution matters.
This is a group with depth of experience in Latin America that is unparalleled. Juan Pablo Cappello stated: "We are pleased to offer a platform that is more conducive to establishing long-term relationships with clients in the technology, start-up and venture capital/private equity arenas, in particular for companies that operate in the U.S. and in Latin America. More established companies will also benefit from the one-on-one attention our partners can offer to their matters."
Both Cappello and Hwu bring years of experience as general counsel at Patagon (which Cappello helped sell to Banco Santander in 2000) and deputy general counsel at Dufry (the largest publicly traded global travel retailer), respectively, to provide advice that is practical and business-oriented. Hwu stated: "That there is a gap between the type of legal advice clients need and what most law firms can offer, particularly with early stage companies. Our practice is about moving the business forward and finding creative legal solutions for our clients."
Cappello is also an investor in more than 20 early-stage companies and is a co-founder of Ideame, a capital crowd-sourcing firm in Latin America and the LAB Miami business incubator. Guttman is the firm's litigator and also brings his entrepreneurial background to the table, having started and sold a medical device company before becoming a lawyer.
"The value-proposition of Private Advising Group is in the skills of its lawyers and the practical approach each of us bring to the practice of law."
