Corporate and M&A

Bruchou & Funes de Rioja

The ‘meticulous’ lawyers at Bruchou & Funes de Rioja are known for supporting international and local corporates on the largest and most complex domestic and cross-border deals. Buyers, sellers and lenders operating across a broad spread of sectors regularly turn to the practice for advice on acquisitions, asset disposals, minority deals and joint ventures, as well as support on day-to-day corporate matters. The team is co-led by experienced M&A and energy lawyer Mariano Luchetti, Javier Rodríguez Galli, who also fronts the firm’s oil and gas practice, and corporate law and governance specialist Maria Lucila Winschel. Firm founder and chairman Enrique Bruchou remains an important senior presence. Accomplished M&A lawyer Estanislao Olmos and the ’creative’ Exequiel Buenaventura, who has a strong real estate and transactional practice, provide additional senior heft to the roster. A cohort of young partners, including Santiago Balbi (corporate law, M&A, private equity and venture capital), Florencia Angelico (company law and corporate governance) and Nicolás Dulce (real estate and M&A) provide further high-level expertise, with senior associates Hernán Alal, Agustina Rocca, Franca Stafforini and Youssef El Chaer leading the second line.
