Integral to the team’s success are also principal associates Reyna Silva-Santisteban, who assists clients with financial, contractual and administrative matters as they pertain to infrastructure projects; and Ramiro Rubio, who has extensive experience in the public sector and advises on PPPs and Works for Taxes (WxT) projects. Senior associate Silvia Otárola, who joined the firm in January 2024 from Osterling Abogados and focuses on infrastructure projects, administrative law and regulatory compliance, and junior associate Diego Romero, a name to note for transport, mining, energy, sanitation and water treatment projects, are also recommended.
