Dentons

Dentons continues to gain traction in the Central American market, leveraging its position as the first global firm with offices in the region to advise an extensive roster of key international players. The firm is particularly well equipped to advise multinationals on their expansion in the area, with strong skill sets in M&A, ESG-related due diligence, and global tax issues. Eduardo Zúñiga, who serves as co-head of the firm’s Latin America real estate group, and compliance specialist Tatiana Reuben are the notable names in Costa Rica (where the firm has offices in San José and Liberia), while Daniel Martínez leads on corporate transactions in El Salvador. Luis Abundio Maldonado, who co-chairs the infrastructure practice in Latin America and the Caribbean, heads the corporate team in Guatemala, with a strong record in foreign investment matters. Edgard Torres and Favio Batres are the main contacts in Nicaragua, Arturo Zacapa and Gustavo Zacapa oversee the corporate group in Honduras, and Gisela Álvarez de Porras heads the Panamanian office.
