About

Provided by Aguilar Castillo Love

Our banking and finance practice has a deep understanding of the financial world and of the securities and banking markets in particular. Our knowledge comes from experience, local, regional as well as international. Practice head and co-managing partner of the firm, Juan Carlos Castillo, served as president of the board of the largest exchange in Guatemala, for eight years, giving the team standout strength in securities mandates in particular.

We have participated in more than half of all bond issuances made in Guatemala’s history and advised on the first-ever, dollar-denominated loan guaranteed with bonds issued in local currency. Clients come to us for business critical and first-of-a-kind mandates.

Our experience allows us to give clients flexibility to raise the finance that they need. We understand how local players in the market operate as well as what foreign banks need to gain security over their operations in the region.
