Over the past year, the firm expanded its scope to include an insurance and reinsurance practice. The firm boasts particular expertise in the Central American private equity market.
All feedback from clients is positive: "Rodrigo Zelaya has the most private equity experience in the region," says one . He adds, "It is of great value every time he expresses his opinion." Another client notes: "The firm has good international contacts; they have referred us to other firms in Central America, Peru and Colombia."
