O'Neill & Borges

O'Neill & Borges remains a force in the marketplace, harnessing the experience of its team to advise government agencies, insurers, domestic and multinational financial institutions and corporates (including Costco and T-Mobile) on a diverse spectrum of corporate and banking matters. The group’s active client base spans such sectors as retail, media, hospitality, telecoms, financial services, tech, education and transport. The practice’s comprehensive offering encompasses M&A, restructurings and government contracts, commercial lending, public offerings and private placements of municipal securities, as well as matters involving investment company and asset-backed securities. The practice is headed by Javier Vázquez-Morales, while Alfredo Alvarez-Ibañez, who brings expertise to commercial lending, secured transactions and asset-based finance, is also a prominent practitioner in the group. Other key figures include Rosa Lázaro, who specialises in M&A and regulatory matters; Edgardo Nieves Quiles, who handles workouts, restructurings and discounted pay-off transactions; senior counsel Julio Pietrantoni, who displays proficiency in municipal securities and corporate debt and equity securities matters; and Nicole Berio Dorta, who manages the granting of credit facilities to both public and private entities. The practice was further bolstered by the December 2023 promotion of Josué González to partner.
