Esguerra JHR’s capital markets team’s ‘professionalism and dedication go above and beyond what clients expect’, according to some. Regulatory work provides the majority of engagements, while the group additionally handles securities offerings and other capital markets-related transactions. As the former Legal and Executive Vice-President at the Bogotá Stock Exchange, department co-head Juan Pablo Gonzalez leverages a formidable background in financial regulation and compliance. Veronica Arango Lux co-heads the practice and focuses on transactional work, with her recent experience spanning public securities offerings, private placements and fund structuring, among other matters.
