Headrick Rizik Alvarez & Fernández advises leading banks and financial institutions and major multinationals such as Johnson & Johnson on the full array of corporate matters. The team can be highlighted for its work in the energy sector – for which Carolina Silié stands out – but is also increasingly active in assisting clients in the fintech and insurtech industries. In addition to advising on complex M&A transactions, which range from local to cross border, the group wins praise for its ‘great handling of corporate due diligence issues’. The practice is headed by Sarah De León, Jaime Senior and Marisol Vicens, all of whom are versatile corporate lawyers. Mary Fernández, Roberto Rizik, Fernando Marranzini and Eileen Jiménez are also key members of the sizeable team.
