Before joining Davis Polk, Stephen was a partner in another major global law firm where at various times he was the partner responsible for its São Paulo, New York and Hong Kong offices, and, from London, its global securities practice.
His recent work highlights include representing: Odebrecht Oil & Gas SA on the EPC contracts and project finance arrangements for drill vessels, Norbe VI, Norbe VIII and IX and ODN I and II; WestLB, Banco Santander and other lenders on export refinancing of US$500 million loan facility to Bahia Speciality Celulose SA; CCR on the financing of São Paulo Ring Road Rodoanel; Via Quatro - Sistema CCR - Concessionária da Linha 4 do Metrô de SP SA on the project financing of São Paulo Metro Line 4 concession project; and TAM on the 2010 mileage programme spin-off IPO for Multiplus.
Mr Hood is highly praised in Chambers Latin America 2009 as 'pragmatic business-oriented and committed to getting a great final result for his client'. Clients also benefit from his excellent contact in Brazil, which 'can really help to smooth the process in a complicated deal'. One client described him as 'one of the strongest lawyers I've ever worked with'.
Mr Hood received his LLB from the University of Queensland in 1969 and his LLM from the University of London in 1974. He is admitted to practice in the State of New York and England and Wales.
