D'Empaire

The banking, finance and restructuring team at D'Empaire continues to be instructed by leading domestic and international clients on all matters related to banking and finance within Venezuela. Significant financial restructurings are a particular strong suit of the firm, which has recently handled several market-leading matters in this area, including assisting Maurel & Prom with the cross-border restructuring of outstanding debt of $914m owed by Petroregional del Lago. Fulvio Italiani co-leads the practice alongside Carlos Omaña; both partners have expertise in advising financial institutions on regulatory and compliance matters, as well as in real estate transactions, and Omaña is noted for his strength in international financings. Inés Parra, Roberto Mas and Roland Pettersson, whose strengths include corporate finance and debt restructuring, are also key names from the team.
