Arias' corporate team is particularly distinguished by its ability to advise on cross-border M&A, frequently joining forces with the firm’s other offices in Central America – as well as with leading international law firms – to act for major multinationals in regional deals. The team also has robust skill sets in assisting international companies from a diverse array of sectors – including financial services, pharmaceuticals, textiles and energy – with restructurings, corporate governance and compliance matters. María Cristina Fábrega heads the transactional side of the practice, frequently coordinating teams from various Central American jurisdictions, while Yuri Moreno is a key adviser on day-to-day corporate matters, supported by director Denise Littman.
