Mitrani Caballero & Ruiz Moreno Abogados | View firm profile
Mitrani Caballero is pleased to announce that Javier Errecondo, one of Argentina’s leading experts in banking and capital markets, has joined the firm.
Javier brings with him extensive experience in structured finance, project finance, capital markets (including debt, equity, and securitizations), sovereign and sub-sovereign debt operations, debt restructurings (both sovereign and corporate), mergers and acquisitions, and structuring for private equity and private credit investments. With over 35 years of experience representing companies, financial institutions (both private and multilateral), investment banks, private equity fund managers, private credit and hedge funds, and high-net-worth individuals across Argentina and other Latin American countries, including Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico, Javier has been consistently recognized by clients and specialized publications as one of Argentina’s top lawyers in banking and finance, and capital markets.
Before joining Mitrani Caballero, Javier was a senior partner at Errecondo, González & Funes (now EGFA), a specialized corporate finance firm he co-founded in 2004 and whose banking and capital markets practice he led for over two decades. In 2016, he opened EGFA’s New York office and served as an external legal advisor to the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Argentina in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the settlement with the country’s “holdout” creditors, which resulted in the largest issuance of external bonds ever done by Argentina. In recent years, he expanded his practice to include financial and capital markets transactions in Colombia. Previously, he had led the corporate finance practice at Bruchou, Fernandez Madero & Lombardi (1995-2004), serving on the firm’s executive committee, and worked as a foreign associate at Shearman & Sterling LLP’s New York office (1988-1992). Javier is admitted to the practice of law in the City of Buenos Aires and in the State of New York and is also in the process of joining the Colombia bar.
Diego Parise, a member of Mitrani Caballero’s executive committee, stated: “We are delighted to have Javier Errecondo on board. Javier is an incredibly talented and creative lawyer who has been involved in some of the most innovative financial transactions our market has witnessed. We are confident that his expertise will significantly strengthen our firm’s corporate finance practice, allowing us to continue providing exceptional service to our clients and to increase our presence in the banking sector.”
Javier Errecondo showed his enthusiasm and said: “I am excited to join Mitrani Caballero. It is a privilege to become a member of a firm widely recognized for its high-quality standards, cross-border expertise, and true full-service capabilities, and to work alongside a team of experienced and committed lawyers. I bring to the firm a proven record of strategic, cutting-edge transactions and superior execution skills, which I intend to use to enhance our existing client relationships and foster new ones.”
Javier believes that Argentina is on a path to steady recovery. In his view, “Argentina is open for business again, but this time the government aims for new investments to be primarily funded by the private sector. As a result, there are significant opportunities for multilateral and private financial institutions, private credit funds, and private equity investors to finance the development of sectors where the country has competitive advantages, including oil & gas, mining, agribusiness, and technology. Mitrani Caballero is uniquely positioned to assist both capital providers and capital recipients in connection with debt and equity financing transactions, and we look forward to becoming the first point of contact for prospective clients and their international counsel in their search for a local legal partner.”
Javier Errecondo’s arrival further solidifies Mitrani Caballero’s standing as one of Argentina’s top full-service law firms and enhances its banking, finance, and capital markets practice.
