Argentina > Banking and finance

DLA Piper Argentina handles complex, cross-border sovereign, sub-sovereign and corporate work; participating actively in local and international debt issuance, as well as restructurings, exchange offers and sustainability-linked debt transactions. The team’s sub-sovereign practice is particularly strong, with the firm actively participating in nearly all provincial deals, both in the international and local capital markets. The practice is confidently led by experienced capital markets expert Marcelo Etchebarne. Guillermo Cabanellas handles banking, corporate, intellectual property and antitrust matters, Alejandro Noblia is a name to note for structured finance and financial trusts, and Justo Segura takes point on capital markets and public debt issuance work, with the trio providing strong partner-level backup. Of counsel Nicolas Teijeiro provides additional expertise in finance and liability management transactions, debt restructurings, registered offerings, and private placements.
