"Vanessa Velasquez is a rising star," says one competitor about the Tegucigalpa-based partner at Casco-Fortin Cruz & Asociados, a firm traditionally known for its strong IP practice. But stellar client feedback and an active banking practice, largely due to their relationship with HSBC, pushes the firm into the Honduran rankings this year. "The attention from Vanessa was incredible," says one, while another mentions that, "Clearly, Vanessa knew how to get through the procedure."
Last year, the firm handled local regulatory and antitrust issues regarding HSBC's acquisition of Honduran insurance and banking group companies owned by Primer Banco del Istmo. Additionally, the firm provided advice to NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG), a truck-lift manufacturer, with the termination of a distribution agreement and dealership relationship with a local dealer.
