Energy-related matters are a mainstay of Chalela | Abogados’ corporate and M&A practice, in line with the boutique firm’s specialist industry focus. That being said, the team has recorded a growing share of deals involving the real estate, technology and financial services sectors of late. With strong expertise in the heavily regulated industries, founding partner Federico Chalela can turn his hand to the full range of corporate matters, including M&A, restructurings, and corporate litigation. Associate practice director Julián Fernandez, who has a focus on corporate and commercial issues, is also recommended. In October 2022, associate Andrea Gutierrez left to become legal director at Renting Tuio.
