Praised by nominators for the strength of the ‘internal relationships and interaction of the team’ which leads to the ‘efficient execution’ of its tasks, the legal team of agricultural commodities merchandiser Alfred C. Toepfer International Argentina (ACTIAR) comes highly recommended by nominating sources. The team is led by the extremely experienced Patricia Galarza who has over two decades of experience with the company and is also a compliance, tax and audit specialist, taking on these responsibilities with the company in addition to attending to legal matters.

Of Galarza and the legal function, a further nominating source stated the following: ‘It possesses an impressive capacity to reconcile the interests of ACTIAR’s operations across different lines of businesses (including the purchase and exportation of agricultural commodities as well as the administration and operation of ports owned by ACTIAR to export its own products and to provide services to other exporters of grains) within the different legal and tax implications of the company’s transactions’.
