The firm’s corporate work was complex, involving navigating challenges of family-owned businesses. In one instance, the firm advised the Ripaldi Family as Hunter in the restructuring of the family business. This was complex due to the family’s businesses in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.  

In another interesting matter, the firm advised Grupo Fajardo in its strategic investment designated to the initiation of an animal feed processing plant. This matter also involved a crucial asset acquisition related to the plant operations.
