Marval counsels Assurant on Iké Asistencia sale

Argentinian law firm Marval O’Farrell Mairal has acted as local counsel to Assurant, a global provider of lifestyle and housing solutions, in the sale of its investment in Iké Asistencia and certain of its affiliates.

Iké is a services assistance business with operations in several Latin American countries.

Following its successful acquisition and integration of The Warranty Group, Assurant decided to sell its interest in Iké to focus on its core lifestyle offerings in Latin America, centered around helping consumers protect their mobile devices, cars, electronics and appliances, Assurant said in a statement.

Marval advised Assurant on the implications of the sale on its local affiliates Eficasia Argentina and Iké Asistencia Argentina. 

Marval O’Farrell Mairal’s team was led by partners Diego Krischcautzky and Macarena García Mirri (pictured), and associates Francisco Abeal, María Soledad Noodt Molins and Carolina Fiuza.

Beccar Varela acted as counsel to Iké, with its partner Alejandro Poletto and associates Eugenia Radaelli and Victoria Hugo.
