His broad practice also takes in finance, corporate governance, M&A, investigations and compliance. Additional key figures include Daniel Díaz Álvarez, who handles bankruptcy, commercial litigation, shareholders’ conflicts and public work disputes; Santiago Alessio, Rodrigo Guaida, and Gabriela Avendaño, who major on corporate reorganisations, bankruptcy and cross-border insolvency procedures. Associates Yoare Heredia, Lucía Laganá, and Luis Antonio Estrella provide the partners with across-the-board support. The firm has been notably strengthened with the April 2024 arrival of an eight-strong group from Pérez-Llorca, including specialists in banking and finance, corporate and M&A, competition, and energy and projects.
