Norton Rose Fulbright’s São Paulo office represents lenders on US$800 million loan facility to Banco do Brasil

Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright advised a syndicate of lenders, including JPMorgan, HSBC, CACIB and Standard Chartered, on a US$800 million loan facility to Banco do Brasil, guaranteed by Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).

Banco do Brasil will use the funds to support micro, small and medium enterprises in Brazil’s farming sector, specifically those engaged in the country’s no-till agribusiness industry. No-till farming minimizes soil erosion and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.  

Norton Rose Fulbright’s deal team was led by José Cobeña with assistance from paralegal Juliana Liano Souza (São Paulo). 

JPMorgan acted as MIGA Coordinator. JPMorgan’s deal team was led by Rodrigo Carmo and Joan Tapia with assistance from Ana Katayama, Junior Diaz and in-house legal team, Yoshinari Ikiri.
