In 2024, the firm advised Paracel and its subsidiary Paracel Forestal on financing Paraguay’s largest private investment—the development of a pulp mill on the Paraguay River.

The firm also represented Proparco in structuring a credit facility to Banco Río, supporting gender equality and financial inclusion through programs for women-led projects. Both matters showcase the firm’s expertise in complex, transformative transactions with significant economic and social impact.
