Highlights 

The firm advised Banco Industrial and IDB Invest on a $155 million financing deal to build and operate a private road in Guatemala. The complexity of this case arises from the borrower’s decision to execute the project through multiple agreements, each directly created and negotiated with individual contractors, rather than using a traditional EPC agreement. The firm also served as local counsel to JP Morgan Chase Bank in connection with a credit agreement for Campero Inc. The transaction was complex due to its multi-jurisdictional nature.
