About

Provided by Ecija Abogados

ECIJA's Corporate/M&A practice is recognized internationally by Chambers and Partners and Legal 500, advising companies, funds and investors on complex corporate transactions, acquisitions, structured financing and regional expansion. This experience translates into Honduras through comprehensive advice to local and foreign companies investing, incorporating or restructuring operations in a market shaped by the country's free trade zones (ZOLI), the maquila and textile industry, and growing foreign direct investment supported by CAFTA-DR.

The team assists with due diligence, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate financing, with particular attention to compliance before the Comisión Nacional de Bancos y Seguros (CNBS) for regulated entities and to the sector-specific regulatory requirements companies face when operating in the country. The practice combines knowledge of the Honduran legal and tax environment with the methodology and international standards ECIJA applies across its more than twenty jurisdictions.

The firm's multidisciplinary approach integrates the corporate perspective with tax, labour, competition and intellectual property advice, offering local and international clients practical, results-oriented solutions in an increasingly competitive and regionalized business environment across Central America.
