Arias

Noted for a ‘comprehensive strategic vision’, Arias’ team counsels institutions and major multinationals involved in majority stake, major cross-border corporate and commercial transactions and financings at all stages, from due diligence to purchase agreements all the way through to the closing agreements of transactions. Clients often hail from the telecoms sector, with more than 25 years in the Salvadoran market. Co-managing partner Roberta Gallardo stands out for corporate structure expertise, and Ana Mercedes López is also heavily engaged in large-scale commercial transactions. Lilian Arias, co-managing partner, can be distinguished by decades of experience in complex regulatory issues associated with M&A transactions and financings. Arias also has strong regulatory knowledge, for which the whole group is commended, but particularly in the financial services sector, which is a key part of the group’s assistance with the sales and purchases of banks and other financial services institutions. Luisa Rivas is especially active in the renewable energy sector.
