Regional firm CENTRAL LAW significantly strengthened its corporate offering in Guatemala in April 2024 with the additions of David Sikaffy, a specialist in franchising and the development of businesses in Central America, who joined as a partner from his own practice, and Maria Monzón, who has notable expertise in corporate governance and legal audits, as director of the corporate and finance area. The ‘forward-looking and proactive' team routinely provides international clients with region-wide corporate support, in addition to assisting with M&A, restructurings and the incorporation of local subsidiaries. Juan Pablo Carrasco de Groote, who focuses his practice on foreign investment, particularly in the energy and natural resources sectors, oversees the practice. Associates Verónica González (who directs the international department) and Sandra Méndez are also noted.
