Annette Herrera

Annette Herrera is a partner at Torres Legal, a lawyer and notary public authorized to practice in the Republic of El Salvador, and an attorney admitted to practice law in the State of New York, United States. Her practice focuses on banking, finance, capital markets, corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring, venture capital, and local and cross-border transactions.

She advises financial institutions, lenders, corporate borrowers, investors, funds, startups, international companies, and business groups on transactions that require rigorous legal analysis, coordination among parties, and efficient execution. Her experience includes local and international financings, syndicated loans, acquisition finance, collateral trusts, securitizations, debt and equity issuances, investment funds, M&A, corporate reorganizations, corporate governance, private investment, due diligence, joint ventures, and commercial agreements.

She has built her career across law firms, financial institutions, and international legal environments, including experience as part of the in-house legal team of El Salvador’s largest commercial bank and as an international associate at Holland & Knight LLP in Miami. This background allows her to bring a practical view of transactions, understanding both the legal and regulatory requirements and the financial and commercial priorities of each matter.

Her counsel focuses on organizing complex structures, identifying relevant risks, and supporting the negotiation, formalization, and implementation of transactions with technical judgment and business sense. Her work follows a clear premise: legal decisions should be understandable, executable, and useful to move forward.
