The practice group at Del Castillo y Castro Abogados is a leading choice for the gamut of bankruptcy and insolvency mandates, namely restructurings, workouts and related litigation and arbitration. The team frequently represents manufacturing, commercial and service companies — in their capacity as debtors — in a wide range of financial operations, including syndicated credits, the financing of assets and the exchange of debt. Representing local and international banks in their capacity as creditors constitutes an additional core area of focus. The practice is co-led by founding partners Fernando Del Castillo and Alfonso Castro. Del Castillo focuses on insolvency, civil and mercantile litigation, as well as arbitration; while Castro specialises in corporate law, banking and finance, capital markets, M&A and restructuring and insolvency. Linda García de Alba, who handles corporate law, banking and finance, compliance and the restructuring of private and public debt, is also noted. Ana Laura Elizalde (civil and commercial litigation, restructuring, insolvency and commercial arbitration); and Andrés Ferrer Soto (restructuring and insolvency, banking and finance, capital markets, M&A transactions), ae the key associate-level contacts.
