Arias fields a dedicated team covering the full gamut of real estate matters within Nicaragua, from due diligence and title verifications, to easements, usufructs and mortgages. Members are adept at advising on the unique aspects of the Nicaraguan real estate market for international clients, and also bring to bear their tax advisory expertise when advising clients on tax structuring involving real estate assets. Róger Pérez, who leads the real estate, dispute resolution and tax practice groups, combines experience in these areas to cover a wide range of matters, including real estate acquisitions and condominium regime establishments, for both local and international clients. Bertha Argüello specialises in handling real estate transactions for clients in the mining and tourism sectors, while Nicaragua managing partner Ana Teresa Rizo also has a strong track record in real estate deals in the country. Senior associate Uriel Balladares is another key name.
