Widely considered a market leader, Consortium Legal remains a strong performer in high-profile domestic and cross-border M&A deals, leveraging the firm’s full-service offering and extensive network in Central America to advise on all aspects of transactions, from due diligence through to related tax, labour and IP issues. Other core areas of expertise include joint ventures, strategic alliances, corporate finance and regulatory compliance. The ‘highly knowledgeable’ Sofía Escribá heads the M&A side of the practice, acting for an impressive roster of local, regional and international clients (including prominent family businesses), while ’trusted advisor’ Alfredo Rodríguez oversees the corporate tax division of the practice. Other key names at the senior level include Salvador Del Valle, who focuses on corporate matters in regulated sectors; María Fernanda Morales, who takes the lead on day-to-day corporate matters, including company incorporations and corporate governance; and Álvaro Castellanos, who is highly regarded for his foreign investment expertise.
