Bringing to bear ‘extensive knowledge of the legal environment in Honduras’ and ‘a great problem-solving approach’, the corporate team at García & Bodán plays an active role in both local and region-wide M&A, leveraging the firm’s sizeable network of offices in Central America. In addition to transactional work, the group is noted for its strong suit in compliance, advising on consumer protection issues and environmental and other regulatory authorisations for companies seeking to operate and expand their businesses in Honduras. Office managing partner and department head Vanessa Oquelí maintains a strong all-round corporate practice, while Godofredo Siercke (a key name for energy-related matters) and senior associates Melissa Ayala (who is based in San Pedro Sula) and Gabriela Aguirre are also notable members of the team.
