Banking Capital Markets, and Corporate Finance

Our team specializing in Banking Law, Capital Markets, and Corporate Finance offers comprehensive advice on both traditional and emerging financial transactions. We cover everything from project financing (Project Finance), syndicated and local loans, to complex restructurings, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and capital market operations, both domestically and internationally.

We stand out in structuring sophisticated transactions, including public stock offerings, securitization, structured financing, and, more recently, in the field of digital and decentralized finance.

Our experience extends to both traditional and emerging financial regulations, including the norms of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), the National Securities Commission (CNV), and new regulations regarding payment service providers, digital wallets, and virtual assets. This expertise allows us to provide precise solutions in an increasingly complex and dynamic regulatory environment.

In the area of insolvency and restructurings, our team of experts in bankruptcies and insolvency combines deep knowledge of commercial law with extensive experience in resolving corporate crises and complex reorganizations, including those involving digital assets.

We advise on Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), as well as the issuance of traditional and tokenized debt. Nicholson and Cano excels in equity operations in capital markets, leading advisory services to companies going public in Argentina. We accompany our clients at every stage with strategic vision and a deep understanding of the local and international markets.

Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in key areas such as energy, exchange regulations, corporate law, environmental law, real estate, equipment financing, litigation, and taxes. Additionally, we have specialized in emerging fields like fintech, blockchain, and crypto assets, offering comprehensive representation tailored to the specific needs of each client.
