Heralded as a ‘capable, experienced, dynamic and efficient team’, BLP brings together a network of offices in locations throughout the Central American region to showcase a strength in supporting subsidiaries of multinationals on a range of corporate issues. Locally, the group advises on other operational issues at the start of life for local companies, and assistance includes due diligence processes for corporate restructurings, of which director Luis Vega is an integral part. Experienced M&A lawyer Zygmunt Brett, who is at the helm, is involved in many of the group’s most complex multi-jurisdictional M&A matters. Mariana Nóchez is adept in corporate structure matters, and corporate transactions, and associate Andrea Melara, who joined in May 2024, is skilled in corporate governance.
