Highlights 

Building on their esteemed reputation in banking and finance, Bomchill provided advisory services to Banco Itaú Argentina and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in a groundbreaking transaction. This deal involved the amendment and refinancing of bilateral and syndicated loans granted to Metrogas. The transaction featured a sophisticated mechanism incorporating “most favorable nation” and cross-commitment and default clauses, enabling the banks to synthetically maintain their pari-passu status. This was achieved despite the absence of an intercreditor agreement, with collateral securing only portions of the debt. This accomplishment underscores Bomchill’s expertise in the banking and finance sector, cementing their status as a market-leading firm.
