The banking and finance practice at Central American firm Lexincorp is well versed in advising regional financial institutions on their operations in Honduras, including regulatory authorisations and the structuring of loans to national entities. Project finance is another key element of the practice, in line with the firm’s overall strength in the development of energy, infrastructure and telecoms projects. Engels Zelaya, an expert in the public and energy sectors, leads the team, while Nora Amaya and office managing partner Benito Zelaya are also names to note. The team was strengthened in January 2024 by the addition of senior associate Carlos Pecorelli, a specialist in the financial sector, from a role at CEUTEC.
