Hailed by clients for its ‘great technical experience’ and ‘strong communication skills’, the corporate team at BLP is particularly sought after by leading multinational companies with a presence in Honduras, frequently advising on complex, multi-jurisdictional deals with support from the firm’s other offices in the region. Demonstrating standout expertise in the tech, telecoms and energy sectors, the team remains a strong performer in M&A, in addition to advising on corporate reorganisations, and the launch and closure of operations in Honduras. José Miguel Álvarez, a ‘reliable ally’ to clients on the full array of corporate matters in Honduras and Central America, leads the team with experienced energy sector specialist Karla Aguilar. The talented junior line-up includes director Roy Zavala (a key contact for regulatory authorisations and antitrust clearances), senior associate Ivis Alvarado and associate Alí Ordóñez. The firm has also established an Innovation Commission focused on identifying and implementing new technologies to reduce turnaround times and deliver cost-effective services.
