BLP‘s energy department has been increasingly active in recent years, bolstered by the experience of Jorge Luis Arenales, who joined the firm in 2023, bringing significant expertise in corporate and financial transactions in the sector. The team has recently played a key role in advising prominent international companies on strategic investments in energy assets in Guatemala and Central America, particularly in the wind and solar power arenas, frequently joining forces with the firm’s regional office network to act on cross-border mandates. Rodolfo Salazar, who leads the practice alongside Arenales, also has a strong profile in energy-related disputes, national and international tenders, and environmental and regulatory issues.
