Always available with concrete answers’, corporate, projects and finance boutique Mendoza Abogados continues to stand out for its record in fintech and heavily structured finance transactions. Name partner Mateo Mendoza has ‘strong understanding of business needs’ and recently advised Holding RappiPay —a joint venture between Banco Davivienda and Rappi— on the first syndicated revolving loan facility to fund digital receivables originated by RappiPay. Former senior associate, and department co-head, Clara Robledo-Sanchez left the firm in June 2022 to become senior legal counsel at fintech, KLYM, while intermediate associate Paula Knudson departed in August 2022. However, in July 2022 the group hired new counsel María Lucia Amador from CMS Rodríguez-Azuero and, two months later, added senior associate Lina María Londoño from the Ministry of Finance. Additionally, Christina Burn was promoted to senior associate in 2022 and, together with associate Luis Tolosa, is highlighted by sources for providing ‘excellent support’.
