Aguilar Castillo Love

Aguilar Castillo Love remains a preferred choice to advise leading financial institutions and multinational corporations on complex, cross-border transactions in Central America, leveraging its extensive network of offices throughout the region, as well as branches in Bolivia, Ecuador and Paraguay, and the strong international experience of its lawyers, many of whom have practised abroad in Brazil, the US and Europe. Among the firm’s core areas of expertise are big-ticket M&A deals, corporate and project finance, and international bond issuances, while it also has an excellent reputation for fintech matters. In Costa Rica (where the firm has offices in San José and Escazú), Marco Solano Gómez and John Aguilar Quesada are the key names in the finance and corporate teams, respectively, bringing to bear significant experience in multi-jurisdictional mandates. Juan Carlos Castillo Chacón and Natalia Callejas Aquino oversee the Guatemalan practice, which is commended for its strengths in capital markets matters and energy-related deals, while Esteban Agüero Guier and Flor De María Cortez are the main contacts in El Salvador, where the firm remains a standout in the fintech space. Enrique Rodríguez Burchard and Juan José Alcerro Milla head the corporate and finance teams in Honduras, with notable expertise in foreign investment, and Thelma Carrión-Blandón and Violeta Núñez take the lead in Nicaragua.
