The corporate and M&A department at Magliona Abogados is home to experts in joint ventures, M&A, and due diligence processes. The 10-member group also advises on corporate structures and shareholder agreements; and routinely leverages the firm’s expertise in customs, real estate, taxation, labour law, regulated markets and antitrust in relation to clients’ commercial operations. Co-leading the practice, Juan Pablo Montiel is a civil and commercial law specialist; Giovanni Donati focuses on corporate matters, including M&A and consumer law; and Claudio Magliona ‘stands out for his thorough knowledge of client issues’. In early 2025, Karla Cid, who advises on corporate issues, new technologies, IP and telecoms law, was raised to partner; while experienced lawyers Karla Frez and Bárbara Reyes were made directors. Associate Santiago Benítez completes the group.
