Belda, Bordón & Merodio launches its “Latam Desk”

Belda, Bordón & Merodio, a boutique law firm specialising in M&A, real estate transactions, financing and tax, launches its Latam Desk, a department specialising in advising clients with interests in both regions and headed by Javier Bordón, a partner in the firm in Spain.

“With Latam Desk, we want to build a real and efficient bridge between Europe and Latin America. It is not just about advising, but about thoroughly understanding how business is done in each jurisdiction, the sensitivities and objectives of each client. It is a commitment to a tailor-made, strategic and long-term service,” says Bordón.

According to the firm, this area was created in a context of growing reciprocal investment flows between Latin America and Spain, especially in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, real estate, technology, agriculture and food.

The firm has a proven track record in managing multi-jurisdictional transactions with complex variables, from investment transactions and corporate restructuring to international asset structures.

One of the distinguishing features of Belda, Bordón & Merodio’s Latam Desk is the network of expert law firms it has built up over the years in Latin America. Thanks to this structure, the firm regularly acts as lead counsel in cross-border matters for both Spanish clients seeking to expand into Latin America and Latin American clients with interests not only in Spain but also in Europe.

The firm has observed that Spain has established itself as a strategic destination for Latin American investors thanks to its solid legal environment, cultural ties and attractiveness for business and investment. At the same time, a growing number of Spanish clients are actively exploring investment and expansion opportunities in countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Uruguay.
