Marking 20 years since its foundation in 2005, Consortium Legal is renowned for the depth and breadth of its offering in Central America, fielding a team of nearly 500 professionals from its nine offices in the region. The firm serves as a one-stop shop for complex, multi-jurisdictional mandates, counting prominent regional and international banks and corporations among its clients. Rolando Laclé Zúñiga, who was appointed as firm president in July 2025, leads the corporate team in Costa Rica (where the firm has branches in San José, Escazú, Guanacaste and Tamarindo), along with Juan Manuel Godoy and real estate specialists David Reuben and Juan Manuel Cordero; regional banking head Mario Quesada Bianchini and Randall Barquero, who oversees the Central America-wide fintech practice, are among the key names for finance matters. Oscar Samour (who also heads the finance practice) and Diego Martín are standout figures in the Salvadoran corporate team, while the experienced quartet of José Ramón Paz Morales, José Rafael Rivera, José Ramón Paz Padilla and Gustavo León-Gómez are key contacts in Honduras (where the firm has offices in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula). Olga Barreto and Rodrigo Taboada handle the full spectrum of corporate and finance matters in Nicaragua. In Guatemala, the highly regarded Álvaro Castellanos and Melissa Morán lead the banking practice, while M&A-focused Sofía Escribá and tax expert Alfredo Rodríguez head the corporate team.
