Guerrero Olivos

Full-service firm Guerrero Olivos has ‘excellent knowledge of the energy sector and its corresponding laws and regulations’. The practice is home to an 18-member banking and finance group that is consistently sought out for cross-border project and acquisition financings, as well as debt restructuring work. The team, which is also highly experienced in New York law-governed transactions, recently assisted with major cross-border financings and refinancings involving both lenders and renewable energy developers. Other highlights saw the practice advise BID Invest on the structuring of a financing facility (including an A/B bond of up to $1.8bn); and act for a consortium of five international banks (as lenders), on a $624m acquisition financing. Heading up the practice, Miguel Coddou regularly assists major international lenders with syndicated loans, debt restructuring and project finance deals; Jorge Delpiano is an expert in financial transactions and capital markets; and Juan Enrique Allard's wide-ranging practice includes complex restructuring mandates. The team further includes Benjamín Novoa, whose principal specialisms are syndicated loans and project finance - particularly in the energy and mining sector. At associate level, semi-senior Ignacio Chomalí is a June 2023 recruit from Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría, who routinely advises on both project and structured finance matters.
