Emerging from the dissolution of Bofill, Mir & Álvarez Jana during 2022, Bofill Mir Abogados houses a 12-strong department that is experienced in both equity and debt capital markets matters (both at domestic and international levels). Its specialisms comprise IPOs and secondary offerings, bond and share issuances, Rule 144A/Reg.S financings, and securitisation work. The team is co-led by founding partner Octavio Bofill, whose recent workload includes advising bondholder groups on their rights during company reorganisations (including Chapter 11 processes), and assisting with the purchase and issuance of bonds; bond issue expert Rodrigo Saffirio; and Ana María Yuri, whose broad transactional practice includes capital markets’ matters. Senior associate Gonzalo Barceló is experienced in debt issuances and securitisations. Since publication, the practice has been strengthened further with the return of Andrea Alarcón as associate practice director - effective as of October 2023.
