Tavarone, Rovelli, Salim & Miani

More informationMore information

Tavarone, Rovelli, Salim & Miani handles the complete range of corporate work from M&A, joint ventures and corporate restructurings to day-to-day corporate matters. The firm is known for its work on complex transactions, with the retail and energy sectors prominent, and has also carved out a niche in wealth management work, handling corporate matters for high net worth individuals and families. The ‘precise, concise and fast’ Juan Pablo Bove, who is active in private equity and M&A, leads the practice alongside well-reviewed transactional lawyer Federico Martín Otero. Experienced banking and finance practitioner Federico Salim, and corporate all-rounder Julián Razumny, are other senior contacts, although the practice has seen the departures of Agustín Griffi and Pablo Tarantino to take up in-house counsel roles at long-standing family office client, Grupo Werthein.
