While maintaining a focus on private equity and energy clients, the corporate and M&A team at Cuatrecasas has recently expanded its client portfolio and has handled transactions in the infrastructure, healthcare and agribusiness sectors, among others. Key strengths include joint ventures, distressed M&A deals, corporate restructuring, and asset and business transfers. Managing partner Oscar Trelles, who is experienced in leading complex international M&A transactions, oversees the practice alongside Diego Carrión, who is skilled in private equity and complex corporate advisory work. Kiomi Osorio is noted for her expertise in financial transactions, corporate law, capital markets and financial regulation. At associate level, senior Guido Maeda -an August 2023 hire from Santiváñez Abogados- is the name to note.
