Manuel Ugarte, who leads the team alongside Ravina, concentrates on complex acquisitions of real estate, often in the hotel and residential sectors. Senior associate Aouda Del Castillo handles due diligence reviews, while principal associate Luis Aliaga advises on registration orders and urban regulation matters. Other core workflows for the department include mining and environmental permits, contract negotiations and real estate finance.
