In a recent interview with AUNO Abogados, Burr's International Legal Business Manager for Latin America, Gonzalo A. Gandara, highlights the firm’s commitment to supporting cross-border business between Latin America and the U.S. through culturally informed legal partnerships and strategic collaboration.

Gandara explains that his approach, both personally and on behalf of the firm, is to serve as a strategic ally for companies and individuals looking to do business between Latin America and the United States. He aims to help bridge the gap between the two regions by fostering collaboration and open dialogue among Latin American law firms. He emphasizes that, regardless of a South American country's size, there are abundant opportunities—it's simply a matter of recognizing and acting on them.

He also highlights the cultural differences that shape the daily practice of international law. According to Gandara, success depends on understanding each country’s culture, legal idiosyncrasies, and systems, and above all, on setting clear expectations. He believes lawyers are uniquely positioned to bridge these divides, thanks to their networks, insight, and ability to foster cross-border cooperation.

In the end, Gandara emphasizes that building strong legal partnerships across borders is not just a smart strategy, it’s part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to supporting meaningful, long-term connections between Latin America and the United States.
