Aldo Reggiardo > Cuatrecasas > Lima, Peru > Lawyer Profile

Cuatrecasas continues its upward trajectory in the Peruvian market and has recently taken on new corporate clients; it works in tandem with other offices in the firm’s broad global network for support on cross-border deals. The practice is led by Aldo Reggiardo and focuses on acquisition and corporate finance, refinancing and restructuring, direct lending and project finance. Reggiardo has notable experience in complex structured finance deals and handles project finance deals in the infrastructure, energy and mining sectors. Kiomi Osorio, who was promoted to partner in April 2022, is a key contact for financing regulation, capital markets deals, financial transactions and corporate law matters. Carlos Lasarte relocated to the firm’s Madrid office and Ana María Sánchez relocated to the firm’s Bogota office at the start of 2022.

Cuatrecasas’ projects and energy practice in Latin America is largely driven by its local office in the region, in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru. It has a broad-based practice covering transport infrastructure, social and community infrastructure, and energy (including renewables, oil and gas, and mining). The firm has worked on a series of road and highway projects in Colombia and Mexico, and advises a range of project sponsors and lenders in the wider region. Bogota partner Manuel Quinche is an experienced project finance expert, especially in the transport infrastructure (including roads, railways and metro lines) and renewables segments. Lima’s Aldo Reggiardo is also a recognised project finance specialist in the energy, infrastructure and mining fields. Mexico City partner León López is another key figure.

Cuatrecasas’ multi-office strategy in Latin America continues to pay dividends. The offices in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru advise a range of financial institutions, funds and corporates on acquisition finance, project finance, trade finance, and refinancings and restructurings, among other matters. It is noted for Spanish law-governed financings and has landed a number of major restructuring engagements. Bogota partner Manuel Quinche leads the team and has a fine record in corporate lending, project finance and real estate finance. Santiago’s Roberto Guerrero V has impressed in the restructuring field and Lima partner Aldo Reggiardo is well regarded for project finance. Mexico City partner León López is another important figure in project finance; while Madrid partner Carlos Lasarte regularly advises on Spanish law financings in Latin America, notably advising Bancóldex on its Spanish law bilateral loan agreement with BBVA.
