Arias

The powerhouse real estate team at Arias remains a market leader, leveraging its regional strength and the experience of its team to advise development banks and private individuals on domestic property matters and national and multinational corporations on high-value, multi-jurisdictional transactions. With a client base spanning such sectors as energy, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and food and beverages, the practice’s comprehensive offering extends to due diligence and title verifications, purchases and sales, easements, mortgages, leases and construction contracts, zoning and related permits, title insurance and litigation. The team is led by Róger Pérez, who draws on his role as head of the firm’s disputes and tax practices to provide expertise on acquisitions, tax and investment structuring, the establishment of condominium regimes and tourism projects. At the associate level, Uriel Balladares advises on horizontal property regimes and regulatory matters related to real estate assets, and Douglas Vásquez utilises 15 years of experience in the defence of clients’ interests before municipal tax entities.
