Fielding ‘connoisseurs of corporate procedures', Guerrero Olivos's 18-strong practice advises on both domestic and multi-jurisdictional M&A, corporate restructuring, and joint ventures; and its full-service assistance ranges from due-diligence processes through to post-closing agreements. The department also has particular strength in highly-regulated sectors, such as TMT, energy, mining, financial services, and food and drink. The nucleus of the practice comprises four key partners: Jorge Delpiano, who advises on M&A, corporate restructurings and corporate governance; mining related M&A and private equity specialist Pedro Lyon; the experienced Juan Enrique Allard, whose ’treatment of clients is exceptional'; and local and international M&A expert Pedro Pellegrini. Also key to the team, recently-elevated partner César Gálvez has an ‘exemplary work drive', while Benjamín Novoa - raised to the partnership in January 2023 - focuses on financial services sector-related corporate work. Senior associate Sebastián Marambio specialises in corporate law, M&A and consumer matters.
