Santamarina y Steta

Noted for its ‘great organizational and response skills’, the practice group at Santamarina y Steta is well-equipped to handle the financing and development of infrastructure projects, for which it is frequently instructed by governmental agencies, state-owned and private banking institutions, and private companies. The practice is jointly led by Juan Carlos Machorro, who deals with the financing of projects involving highways, energy infrastructure, airports, and railroads; Sergio Chagoya, singled out by one client for his ’great technical knowledge in project financing and finance in general’; and Ricardo Orea, who primarily takes care of banking and finance, project finance, M&A, and restructuring and insolvency matters. Additional names to note include Diego Ostos (banking and finance, securities, corporate and M&A); and counsel Margarita Casarin (syndicated and structured finance, project finance and infrastructure projects).
