Project development: mining

“I think that they have the best team in Bolivia. We worked with other firms before and we didn't have this treatment oriented to our real needs.”

Restructuring

“Wayar & von Borries has a very strong team advising on commercial law and complex transactions. In our case, the corporate transformation process was done in record time and without any setbacks. The knowledge in financial matters of the partners who assisted us (Iver von Borries and Javier Romero) is outstanding, and with their knowledge in commercial law, they were by far the best choice of lawyers that we could make.”
