Lembeye

With ‘one of the best corporate teams around for a mid-sized office’, Lembeye's 12-strong group advises energy, oil, mining, banking, telecoms and technology companies on the gamut of corporate work. Its expertise ranges from M&A and corporate restructuring, to incorporations, corporate governance and day-to-day corporate issues. Clients additionally benefit from the group’s ability to leverage the expertise of the firm’s projects, capital markets, bankruptcy, restructuring, and banking and finance practices. The wide-ranging commercial workload of department leader and firm founder Jorge Lembeye covers M&A, along with project financing and capital markets; Nicolás Espina's specialisms include M&A, joint ventures, corporate reorganisations and venture capital; counsel Francisco Palma U routinely assists with significant corporate mandates; and director María Paz Aguirre is a February 2024 hire from Chirgwin. At senior associate level, Camila O'Shea is a key venture capital and corporate team member, but Reginald Horn left the firm in December 2024.
