García & Bodán promotes three partners

Central American law firm García & Bodán has elected three new partners in its Managua and Tegucigalpa offices, strengthening three of its core practice areas.

The new partners are Melvin Estrada, at the law firm’s Managua office, and Graciela Cruz and Godofredo Siercke at the Tegucigalpa office.

Melvin Estrada is regional director of the tax practice, Graciela Cruz regional sub-director of intellectual property, and Godofredo Siercke is regional director of energy and natural resources.



The law firm has offices in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.

“We have always known that Melvin is a great professional, and a connoisseur like no other in Nicaragua in tax matters,” Terencio García, García & Bodán’s regional managing partner, said.


“Melvin represents and symbolises what García & Bodán wants: loyalty to the client, commitment to its work, righteousness, values of honesty and transparency,” he added.


Vanessa Oquelí, managing partner of García & Bodán Honduras, said: “Graciela is a professional with a great academic background and a high sense of ethics and responsibility.” 

“Godofredo is a professional with a great intellectual capacity, which is fortified by its vast experience in different areas of law,” she added.

The new partners symbolise and represent the values and principles under which García & Bodán operates, and the niches in which they work will be strengthened with their promotions, the law firm said in a statement.
