(Next Generation Partners)Bond issuances are a significant area of expertise for Consortium Legal‘s ‘highly competent and knowledgeable‘ team, which recently acted for BofA Securities as the global coordinator of the Republic of Guatemala’s sovereign bond issuance, which raised $1.2bn for the country’s Covid response. As part of a major regional firm, the team is active in cross-border financial transactions across Central America, working alongside its other offices in the area, and counts banks, financial institutions and multilateral organisations among its clients. The team primarily acts for clients on the lender side but also assists borrowers with corporate lending and debt restructurings. The ‘very efficient‘ Álvaro Castellanos, whose broad experience includes the fintech, insurance and aviation sectors, co-heads the practice with Diego Alejos, who has notable expertise in international debt issuances, among other areas.
