Marval O’Farrell Mairal leverages the strength and expertise of its corporate and M&A team to support local and international real estate clients on large, complex real estate transactions. The practice works on pure play real estate deals, but is also sought out for advice on real estate operations within the broader context of M&A deals, with sale-and-leaseback structures a specialist area of focus. Real estate development, construction and financing matters are also covered. The practice is particularly well known for its work on land transactions in the agribusiness sector, and rewilding projects are a notable area of niche expertise. Hernán Slemenson, a noted M&A and financing lawyer, co-leads the team alongside corporate and M&A partner Diego Chighizola, who works on a variety of real estate development and financing matters. The practice can also call on the vast experience of corporate and M&A team head Pablo Viñals Blake, with senior expert associate Ignacio Torino Zavaleta providing second line support.
