Aguilar Castillo Love

Regional firm Aguilar Castillo Love enjoys a stellar reputation for handling cross-border financial transactions, with a notable strong suit in advising major international and regional lenders on loans to domestic companies, although the practice is equally adept at acting for borrowers (particularly on energy-related financings). International capital markets matters are also a core area of expertise for the ‘excellent’ team, whose impressive recent caseload includes advising the bookrunner on two sovereign bond issuances by the Republic of Guatemala. On the regulatory front, the team is frequently sought out by foreign clients for advice on fintech matters. At the head of the practice, Juan Carlos Castillo Chacón is widely regarded as a market leader in energy finance and capital markets transactions, while Natalia Callejas Aquino shines on project finance and fintech mandates. Associate Rudy Villatoro provides key support, particularly on regulatory matters.
