Client Satisfaction

Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga ‘stands out’ for its expertise in the fintech sector, and the banking and finance team advises numerous clients in the payment systems and open banking space. Noting a recent increase in infrastructure projects, the team has also been advising on a growing number of project finance transactions; renewable energy and PPP financings are particularly active areas for the group. The practice has also strengthened its capabilities in the consumer finance space, adding a number of financial entities to its clientele. Three partners jointly lead the team: Nicolás Herrera Alonso focuses on banking and capital markets matters, advising key clients such as JP Morgan; Mariela Ruanova has an established reputation in the technology sector and counts payment solution providers among her diverse roster of clients; and Fernando Jiménez de Aréchaga Jr spearheads the team’s project financing matters. Senior associates Mariana Lartigau, Alfredo Arocena, Maite Gaynicotche and Alejandra Martínez are also key members of the team.
