Baker McKenzie is sought out for its expertise in cross-border banking and finance work, with lenders and borrowers turning to the firm for support on public offerings and private placement of securities, as well as on the drafting and negotiation of different types of loan agreements, security packages and international payments. The practice is particularly prominent when it comes to advising private equity funds and commercial and development banks on financing deals and is also distinguished by its expertise in specialist areas such as stock option plans, broker agent regulation and fintech investments. Leveraging the strength of its global parent, the team is also well-placed to advise on the enforceability of cross-border financing agreements and payment structures to cancel outstanding debt abroad, under the scope of applicable foreign exchange and corporate regulations. The practice is co-led by Gabriel Gomez Giglio, an experienced finance lawyer who is also currently serving as chair of the firm’s Latin America Banking & Finance Practice. Francisco Fernández Rostello provides valuable partner-level support and focuses his practice on high profile transactional work and restructurings. The team has strengthened its second line with the hire of former Pérez Alati, Grondona, Benites & Arntsen associate Jerónimo Juan Argonz.
