Federico Cuadra Del Carmen was recognized by Bloomberg Law in its 2024 “They’ve Got Next: 40 Under 40” series as one of the best lawyers in the U.S. in the M&A category. The profile highlights Federico's contributions to Johnson & Johnson's transformative separation of Kenvue, Inc., which included steering Baker McKenzie's M&A and corporate workstreams for LatAm and the Caribbean, as well as his representation of Mercon Coffee in a first-of-its-kind global restructuring involving parallel actions in the US, Brazil, and the Netherlands, where he led the Section 363 sales for the company’s assets in Asia, North and South America.
"Success to me is helping clients make the best of every situation. As a lawyer, clients reach out during their best moments as well as their most difficult ones," shares Federico in an accompanying profile. " Success is embodied in seeing the joy in a client’s face at the closing of a transformative transaction just as much as seeing their relief at the end of a very trying episode."
“Our 2024 honorees represent the best of the future of the legal profession,” said Lisa Helem, executive editor, Bloomberg Industry Group. “This elite group of young leaders excels in foreseeing and navigating the complexities their clients face. Through their successes, they elevate, innovate and serve — not only clients but their communities beyond. They also represent a range of practice areas, life experiences and cultures — diverse in all senses of the word.”
Federico guides clients through complex, domestic and cross-border acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactional events. His practice also includes advising on venture capital investments, corporate reorganizations, and business expansions. He routinely represents a broad range of clients from the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific, strategically deploying Baker McKenzie’s global resources to deliver seamless and practical solutions.
