About Lara M. Rios
I’m a banking and finance partner at Holland & Knight specializing in domestic and cross border transactions. I’m a team-player with an entrepreneurial spirit who is interested in growing a business and solving tough problems. I balance the training and skill set of a corporate attorney with the attitude and creative thinking of an in-house general counsel. Over the years, I have advised clients large and small in financings, securities matters, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property issues, internal investigations and corporate governance matters across a wide variety of industries- notably power generation. In my role as Deputy General Counsel at ContourGlobal, I advised on project finance and M&A transactions across the globe and brought innovative legal solutions to my in-house clients in Brazil, Peru, France, Italy, Spain, Western Africa, North America and Mexico. I have substantive experience in general corporate law, corporate and acquisition financings, project finance, development and construction and have led cross-functional teams. I am a licensed attorney in the states of New York and Florida and am conversational in Spanish.
