GarciaBodan

In addition to its strong platform in Nicaragua (where the firm has branches in Managua, San Juan del Sur and Tola), GarciaBodan has a sizeable network across Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras, enabling the firm to provide a comprehensive service to domestic and multinational clients in Central America. Advising on regional M&A transactions is a central pillar of the firm's offering, which also covers financial, corporate, tax and compliance matters, among others. In Nicaragua, regional managing partner Terencio García, a prominent name in the energy and natural resources sector, leads the corporate and finance team alongside Federico Gurdián, who also directs the Central American corporate, commercial and transactional practice. Carlos Téllez heads the Guatemalan office, while the key name in Honduras (where the firm has branches in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula) is Vanessa Oquelí, who oversees the regional capital markets practice and is noted for her expertise in corporate transactions, bond issuances and project finance. Oscar Torres, a specialist in labour law, oversees the office in El Salvador.
