MERCOSUR - Argentina

Zang, Bergel & Viñes Abogados

Zang, Bergel & Viñes Abogados runs a marquee real estate practice that many major real estate, hotel and construction-industry clients regularly turn to for counsel on real estate transactions, contract structuring, planning and commercialisation matters. Satisfied clients speak of the team’s ‘practical application of the different legal figures offered by the civil code in matters of real estate law’. More recently the firm has also gained prestige for the depth of its real estate disputes practice. Standout practitioner Fernando Aguinaga (’for one client the lawyer who understands the most about real estate in the market’), has considerable experience across real estate, agribusiness, competition and insurance matters; he co-leads the team alongside real estate-focused corporate and M&A partner Juan Manuel Quintana. Well-reviewed senior associate Inés Poffo leads the second line.
