Cuatrecasas advised on significant transactions in Peru during 2024. The firm represented Minsur in the sale of its Brazilian subsidiary Mineração Taboca to CNMC Trade Company, a significant divestment for Grupo Breca that required complex cross-border structuring and antitrust filings. Cuatrecasas also advised Grupo Chema on its sale to global construction giant Sika, navigating intense negotiations and conditional antitrust approval for a deal that reshapes Peru’s mortar market. Additionally, the firm supported Yinson Renewables in structuring and negotiating a green financing agreement for the Matarani Solar Project, implementing sophisticated collateral and trust structures under Peruvian law and ISDA hedging arrangements. This transaction advances Peru’s energy transition, delivering 260 GWh annually and reducing CO₂ emissions by over 56,000 tonnes.
