Arias

Arias maintains a prominent position in Honduras’ banking and finance landscape, particularly noted for its cross-border capabilities and regional coordination across Central America. The firm is a trusted adviser to a broad mix of international banks, development finance institutions and insurers, and is regularly sought after for its expertise in syndicated lending, project and acquisition finance, and regulatory advisory work. The key names at top level are Evangelina Lardizábal, who brings to the table extensive experience of advising major foreign lenders and insurers on local transactions, and Mario Agüero, whose work spans multi-jurisdictional financings in highly regulated sectors such as energy and telecoms. Senior associate Rodolfo Salgado, who was promoted in early 2025, continues to develop a growing profile in transactional and regulatory mandates, including fintech-related matters.
