The ‘practical’, ’professional’ and ‘interdisciplinary’ team at Kavanagh Gorozpe advises domestic and international clients drawn primarily from the real estate, energy, manufacturing, automotive and logistics segments on a range of advisory and transactional corporate law mandates. Following the formalisation of its merger with Campa y Mendoza SC in June 2025, the firm has boosted its capabilities in corporate, banking and finance, administrative law and regulatory compliance matters. Leadership of the practice group is shared between founding partner and corporate law specialist Patricio Gorozpe; Alejandro Orellana, a Janaury 2025 hire from Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC; and Bernardo Mendoza, whose arrival followed the aforementioned June 2025 merger. Gorozpe has extensive expertise in investments, strategic alliances and joint ventures, corporate restructurings, M&A transactions, spin-offs, dissolutions and company liquidations; Orellana majors on corporate, financial and real estate transactions; and Mendoza specialises in advising companies from the financial, banking and technology sectors on administrative law, regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering matters. The key names to note at counsel level are Enrique Bojanic (corporate law, projects and infrastructure, matters of foreign investment); and Yakov Kobets (a December 2024 arrival from Santamarina y Steta), who handles competition and antitrust, M&A transactions, real estate and project finance.

Paul Kavanagh and Patricio Gorozpe, even as they have successfully grown their firm, continue to leave their very personal mark on the firm's services.'

- 'We are impressed by the speed of response and the knowledge of the other members of the team, if the main lawyer is not available for any situation, all the others know the status of the case of each of the companies.'

- 'It is an interdisciplinary team with a remarkable value of timely attention to the client. Their knowledge of corporate, labour, litigation and financial matters has been of great benefit to us, for which we are very grateful. We find that despite being a relatively new firm, they have a structure and offering that is as solid as those firms that have been in business for decades.'
