Co-founding partner Elizabeth Heurtematte heads the practice, and is noted for her strength in project finance; her recent workload includes advising on major developments in the transport and energy sectors. Fellow co-founder Isabel Cristina López and Alejandro Fung, who provides ’an excellent service' to an array of financial institutions and multinational companies, are also key members of the team.
