Consortium Legal

Regional heavyweight Consortium Legal houses a comprehensive corporate practice, with particular strong suits in the consumer goods, retail, agroindustrial, manufacturing and financial services sectors. Sofia Escribá takes the lead on the M&A side of the practice, which has a strong record of advising multinational clients on regional deals (often teaming up with its counterparts from the firm’s network of offices across Central America), while Maria Fernanda Morales, who was promoted to partner in May 2023, heads the department focused on company incorporations, corporate governance and regulatory issues in the aviation and telecoms spaces. Highly experienced corporate and tax partner Alfredo Rodríguez and firm president Álvaro Castellanos, who is widely regarded as a market leader for foreign investment matters, oversee the practice. At junior level, senior associate Roxana Sandoval provides key support across the full spread of transactional matters. The firm is also noted for its commitment to corporate social responsibility across the region, with established diversity and inclusion, pro bono, innovation and environmental committees.
