Aguilar Castillo Love benefits from a sizeable footprint in Central America – with offices in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua (as well as an affiliate branch in Panama) – and has further extended its offering to Bolivia, Ecuador and Paraguay. The firm has a long history of advising international clients with operations in the region, counts many lawyers among its ranks who have practised in the US and Europe, and is frequently engaged to handle high-profile domestic and cross-border mandates, including syndicated loans, project financing, debt issuances, M&A and restructurings. In Costa Rica, where the firm has two offices, Marco Solano Gómez oversees the banking practice; while John Aguilar Quesada, an authority on foreign investments, leads the corporate team. Esteban Agüero Guier and Flor De María Cortez are the key contacts for corporate and finance matters in El Salvador, where the firm is particularly noted for its fintech expertise. The Guatemalan team is led by Juan Carlos Castillo Chacón, a well-known name in the capital markets sphere, and Natalia Callejas Aquino; Enrique Rodríguez Burchard and Juan José Alcerro Milla are the leading figures in Honduras; and Thelma Carrión and Violeta Núñez, experts in M&A and financial matters, respectively, head the practice in Nicaragua.
