About
Provided by Aguilar Castillo Love
The key to success in corporate and M&A matters is the efficiency with which a deal can be executed so the client can return to their day-to-day business operations and decisions. This is our priority at Aguilar Castillo Love. We pride ourselves on our client care and putting our legal advice in a commercial context of our clients. We provide advice on what is really important; we’re business people that know the law.
Corporate is the firm’s core practice, from and to which most of the other practices derive and relate. Most corporate and M&A matters involve several areas of legal skill including, antitrust & regulatory, compliance, finance, labor and employment and tax, among others. We have experienced lawyers across these practice areas, who approach matters with a corporate lens and help clients navigate all issues that can arise in a corporate or M&A context.
Our Honduras office has been recognized by Chambers & Partners as Honduran Law Firm of the Year 2018. We also received this accolade in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
We advise clients of all sectors in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, spin-offs or any kind of business combination, arrangement or restructuring. Our experience covers the entire life of a deal, local ‘one-country’ transactions, to regional and cross-border deals.
We have extensive experience in assisting start-ups and advising on general foreign direct investment and greenfield projects, as well as giving general business law support.
