Argentina > Corporate and M&A
Allende & Brea is regularly called on by foreign companies for advice on complex transactions and exit strategies from Argentina, including disposals and carve-outs. The firm works across a broad range of industries, with insurance, agribusiness and technology among its areas of particular expertise. Vastly experienced corporate lawyer and firm managing partner Valeriano Lynch heads the team in tandem with Santiago Sturla, who advises clients on a broad range of corporate matters, including M&A, shareholder conflicts, financing and restructuring. Dispute resolution and restructuring expert Diego Botana and Raul Fratantoni, who has a strong tax background and an active portfolio of family-owned company clients, are other key senior names. Corporate all-rounder Tomás de Cío, transactional-focused Marcos Patron Costas, and life sciences specialist Fernando Martínez Zuviría all provide further partner-level expertise.
Argentina > Insurance
The formerly market leading practice at Allende & Brea has undergone a remarkably rapid liquidation with the February 2023 departure of associate Sebastian Bonina (to Accenture Argentina), superceded by the wholesale August 2023 departure of practice head Martín Argañaraz, key associate María Agustina Diaz (plus a junior associate and a paralegal) to establish new office, DAC Beachcroft Argentina. Following the earlier (April 2022) departure of Laura Santanatoglia, who moved in house at Zurich Santander Seguros America, this leaves Santiago Sturla – who practices insurance and reinsurance as part of a broader practice that takes in corporate, contractual and company law – heading the department as the firm seeks to rebuild its capabilities; he is supported by intermediate associate Florencia L Marino.
