Dentons > The Legal 500 Rankings

Honduras > Intellectual property Tier 1

Commended by clients for its ‘knowledge of the specificities of the law not just in Honduras, but in Latin America as a whole‘, Dentons combines the legacy firm’s historic strength in IP with a global platform to assist an array of multinational companies with the management of their local and regional IP portfolios. Demonstrating expertise across the automotive, food and beverages, retail and technology sectors, among others, the team advises on trade mark registrations and renewals and copyright issues, and is also active in IP disputes. Honduras managing partner Arturo Zacapa, who maintains a broad IP practice, heads the department. Gustavo Zacapa brings almost 40 years’ experience in the field, and director Milena Picado garners praise for her ‘extensive knowledge of IP issues‘. Since publication, Picado has left the firm.

Honduras > Corporate and M&A Tier 4

Dentons‘s corporate practice takes advantage of the firm’s extensive regional and global footprint to advise a host of multinationals on their operations in Honduras. In addition to assisting with day-to-day corporate and compliance issues, the team has a strong recent record in multi-jurisdictional M&A and the incorporation of businesses in the country. Office managing partner Arturo Zacapa is widely recognised for his IP expertise, but also has considerable strength in foreign direct investment matters. The practice also benefits from the wealth of experience of Gustavo Zacapa and the support of senior counsel Humberto Salgado, a specialist in corporate and labour law.

Central America > Corporate and finance

As the Central American branch of global firm Dentons, Dentons is one of the few firms in the region to have an international presence, making it well equipped to handle multi-jurisdictional transactions. In Costa Rica (where the firm has two offices), real estate and hospitality specialist Eduardo Zúñiga leads the corporate team with Tatiana Reuben. Luis Abundio Maldonado, who also co-chairs the infrastructure practice for Latin America and the Caribbean, is the name to note in Guatemala, while in Honduras Arturo Zacapa heads the team. In Nicaragua, Edgard Torres handles corporate and finance matters, and Daniel Martinez, who has a strong track record in international deals, leads the El Salvador practice. The highly experienced Gisela Álvarez de Porras is the key contact in Panama.
