Dentons

Global firm Dentons is well positioned to advise local and international companies on transactional and regulatory matters in Guatemala, with a broad practice that spans M&A, joint ventures and corporate restructurings. The team, which has a particularly strong presence in highly regulated sectors including energy, oil and gas, mining and telecoms, is also singled out for its expertise in compliance; practice director Andrea Jarquín frequently advises on the implementation of corporate compliance programmes, internal investigations and ESG due diligence, in addition to labour and energy matters. Office managing partner Luis Abundio Maldonado, who has extensive experience in M&A and foreign investments, is another name to note.
