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, Belda Bordón & Merodio, a boutique law firm specializing in M&A, real estate transactions, financing, and tax, launched Latam Desk, a practice area specializing in advising clients with interests in both regions.
The new area, led by Javier Bordón, a partner at the firm in Spain, was created with the aim of offering comprehensive support based on a highly personalized relationship model with a strong transactional focus. The firm has a proven track record in managing multi-jurisdictional transactions with complex variables, from investment transactions and corporate restructurings to international asset structures.
“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,” said Bordón.
One of the distinguishing features of the firm’s Latam Desk is the stable and consolidated network of expert law firms that it has built up over the years in Latin America. These are independent firms with which it shares not only technical standards, but also a common vision and the same culture of customer service, enabling it to offer consistent and coordinated treatment in all markets. These teams are accustomed to working together, ensuring agility, consistency, and excellence in every matter. 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, as Spain is often an attractive gateway for expanding their businesses to the rest of Europe.
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.
This new launch reinforces Belda, Bordón & Merodio’s international focus and consolidates its position as a leader in high-level strategic consulting for clients operating in international environments.
