The Latin American team was recognized by the legal community for its participation in the bond issue capitalized by Celeo Redes in the local and international markets. The transaction was named Latin American Refinancing Deal of the Year at the New York ceremony of the Latin American awards held by IJ Global, a specialist in the infrastructure and project finance sector.
Garrigues acted as adviser through its Santiago de Chile team, led by partner Pedro García together with associates Antonio Morales, Francisco Irarrázaval, Sofía Duralde and Federico Espinosa. The Garrigues team advised the placing banks (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and BBVA) on the local issue and acted as adviser under Chilean law for the international market.
