Central American firm Lexincorp routinely advises regional and multinational clients on day-to-day corporate and commercial issues, including governance and compliance, but is also frequently called upon to assist with the formation of new businesses and the acquisition of Honduran target companies. Thanks to its robust skill set in the field of public-private partnerships, the team is particularly well equipped to advise on the structuring of consortia for the development of major transport and infrastructure projects. Engels Zelaya, who is experienced in M&A and private equity transactions, steers the practice, while Honduras managing partner Benito Zelaya, Nora Amaya and Sylvia Zelaya, who heads the San Pedro Sula office, are other key names at top level.
