Three Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP offices, Marval O’Farrell Mairal in Buenos Aires and Mexico’s Nader, Hayaux & Goebel have helped Argentine e-commerce and fintech group Mercado Libre complete a US$750 million international notes offering.

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP in New York and Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría (Colombia) advised the underwriters on the transaction.

Latin Lawyer understands that Colombia’s Brigard Urrutia also assisted the issuer but could not confirm this before publishing.

The deal closed on 9 December.

Mercado Libre will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
