Work Department
Andrés is a member of the M&A team. He is admitted to practice in Spain, New York and Ecuador. He advises clients on local and international transactions, acquisitions, joint ventures, asset purchases, share purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements and other complex corporate matters. He frequently works with foreign firms on multijurisdictional deals, including many of the largest and most complex operations that take place in the Ecuadorian market.

Ecuador > Corporate and M&A
(Next Generation Partners)Diego Pérez Ordoñez and Juan Manuel Marchán head the team at Pérez Bustamante & Ponce, which ‘stands out for its prompt responses and its ability to provide useful and practical solutions’. Marchán is described by one client as ‘always available to resolve concerns and provide quality advice‘, and Ordóñez stands out for his track record in M&A, having been involved in many of Ecuador’s landmark transactions. The group adopts a cross-practice approach and collaborates with the firm’s antitrust, tax, labour and litigation teams. At associate level, Andrés Brown-Pérez is the name to note; his previous stint at an international firm’s M&A department is an asset to the firm when handling cross-border transactions. Since publication, Brown-Pérez has been raised to the partnership – effective as of January 2024.
