Arias

Thanks to its status as a full-service regional firm, Arias is well equipped to advise both domestic and international clients on the full spectrum of banking and finance matters, across all industry segments, although it is best known for its expertise in financings in the energy sector. The team also stands out for its advice to international lenders, with a strong recent track record in advising multilateral development agencies on cross-border loans to domestic companies, banks and microfinance institutions. At the head of the practice, office managing partner Evangelina Lardizábal is widely recognised for her experience in project finance in Honduras – as well as in Central America more widely – and Mario Agüero is particularly active in multi-jurisdictional transactions, with an emphasis on highly regulated sectors. Associate Rodolfo Salgado provides key support in financial transactions and banking regulatory matters.
