Posadas houses a strong practice that specialises in local and cross-border M&A transactions, joint ventures and corporate governance matters. The sizable team is praised as ‘committed, proactive and efficient’, as well as ’knowledgeable and hard working’. Investment funds and corporations from the agribusiness, forestry, automotive, construction and tech sectors are mainstays on its client roster. Recent additions of major new clients have come in the energy and food and drink sectors. A trio of partners lead the group: Fernando de Posadas has significant M&A experience; Tomas Gurméndez assists corporations with cross-border M&A transactions and corporate governance matters; and tax and real estate expert Eduardo Ferrari completes the leadership team. Martina Reyes is noted for her expertise in M&A, banking and foreign investment matters. Tomás Guerrero adds M&A and commercial agreements experience, and the 'technically gifted' Gerardo Caffera and Lucía Carbajal, and 'great negotiator' Andrés Aznárez, are additional key contacts.
