Marval O’Farrell Mairal

Corporate and banking clients turn to Marval O’Farrell Mairal for advice on all aspects of banking and finance law, with the firm being particularly well-known for the strength of its capital markets practice, which has an impressive track record across debt and equity transactions, including securitisations, bond issuances and IPOs. Project finance and structured finance mandates are covered too, with the team also strong in the niche area of litigation related to the Central Bank matters such as forex, regulation and anti-money laundering. Firm chairman Santiago Carregal co-leads the practice alongside experienced banking law veteran Gabriel Matarasso, who handles a wide range of complex regulatory and capital markets matters. Cecilia Mairal is a trusted adviser to local and international banks on highly sensitive non-transactional matters, while Juan Diehl Moreno leads on fintech matters and also takes on M&A, banking, FX, capital controls and capital markets work. Other partners on the team’s roster include corporate finance expert Hernán Slemenson; syndicated and bilateral loans practitioner Sergio Talamo; and Francisco Abeal, who is best known for his forex, regulatory and transactional work. The team has seen the departure of Roberto Silva Jr following his appointment as head of the National Securities Commission by the incoming Milei administration.
