About
Provided by Pino Elizalde Abogados
Our firm is business and solution oriented and therefore has a strong corporate and commercial department. Our transactional practice is strong not only because we know about corporate and commercial law, but also because we have an understanding of the underlying business that we provide advice to, this is one of our main differences with other law firms in the filed of corporate law that is praised by our clients.
We have consistently provided advice and assistance to our clients in M&A transactions, joint ventures, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, corporate restructurings, among others, both local and cross border. The area of M&A in Real Estate and Export Agribusiness (shrimp, banana, and cacao) has enjoined a significant growth in recent years.
We have many different clients from different areas ranging from medical laboratories, to insurance, to mining, to shrimp producers and exporters, to petroleum transport, to retailers and breweries, among others; both local and foreign. What they usually have in common is their strong presence in each of their markets or their eagerness to become strong or leading players in them.
