The Founder

Elite deal experience, applied directly to your transaction

Jairo C. Lamatina is a New York-qualified corporate attorney with more than ten years of experience in mergers, acquisitions and cross-border transactions, including work at Sullivan & Cromwell, Skadden, Latham & Watkins and Linklaters across New York, São Paulo and Singapore.

He founded MorningLight Law to give middle-market buyers, sellers and investors direct access to that experience — without the overhead, hierarchy or hourly drag of a large firm.
