Advising on cross-border M&A transactions is a key dimension of the corporate practice at Aguilar Castillo Love, whose clients benefit from the firm’s regional structure (as well as additional offices in Bolivia, Ecuador, Panama and Paraguay). The team stands out for its advice to major regional and multinational clients on the acquisition of Guatemalan targets, with strong skill sets in the energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals and tech sectors. In addition, the firm assists with entry to the local market, the launch of new products, and local and regional distribution issues, while practice co-head Natalia Callejas Aquino is frequently the first port of call for clients requiring advice on corporate compliance and investigations. Fellow co-head Juan Carlos Castillo Chacón remains a high-profile name for M&A and corporate governance matters, and associate Rudy Villatoro provides capable support. The firm also has a robust initiative focused on gender diversity, Proyectos ACL Mujeres.
