García & Bodán appoints managing partner in Nicaragua

Law firm García & Bodán has appointed Federico Gurdián as a new managing partner in Nicaragua, and who also serves as director of the firm’s pan-regional corporate and transactional practice region-wide.

Gurdián (pictured) has been with the firm from its very beginning and specialises in corporate law, in addition to having expertise in Real Estate, Tax and Trusts, among others.

“Federico not only meets the firm’s expectations, but he far exceeds them,” according to Terencio García, regional managing partner.

“He is an extremely responsible, creative and intelligent person who knows how to anticipate situations and who knows how to foresee the future of things, which gives us a great advantage over situations that may present for the firm in coming years,” he added.



For his part, Gurdián said: “This new position, considering the situation the country is going through at the moment, carries and represents a great challenge. It requires a meticulous and constant work; seeking how to enrich our talent base and increase our capacity to always participate in the most important legal transactions in the country; all while supporting the other operations we have in the rest of Central America.”

“Given the socio-political situation of the country, it will be more important than ever to transmit our values and working culture to all our team, both legal and administrative,” he added.

“Only that reiterated commitment -based on ethics and values- will result in being able to provide legal services of the highest quality, which is the only way we will be able to grow and carry the firm through these difficult times in Nicaragua.”

Gurdián’s appointment follows García & Bodán’s interest in handling itself more and more like large firms in developed countries, where the position of managing partner is subject to rotation, according to the law firm, which also has offices in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
