Track record: The team is very active in the

Argentinian arena. It advised Dufry on a

series of headline $950m acquisitions and

Indian Group Aegis on the purchase of

Actionline and Sur Contact, two of Argenti-

na’s largest call center operators. It advised

also Coeur D’Alene Mines Corporation on

the $60m acquisition of Mirasol Argentina

SRL and assisted NYSE-listed LifeLock Inc.

with the $42.6m acquisition of Lemon Inc. The

firm was also involved in the headline $200m

SanCor acquisition, one of the largest M&A

deals by value in Argentina in recent years.

Team & differentiation: Marval has the lar-

gest corporate department in Argentina,

with around 100 lawyers, it comprises 22

partners. That size allows the firm to ensure

that a number of concurrent key matters are

handled directly by partners, ensuring quality.

Being so numerous also permits the structure

of sector-focused groups, such as banking,

corporate disputes, private equity and ven-

ture capital, regulatory, real estate and tele-

communications. It is also worth noting that

the team can rely on the support of its tax and

antitrust department, whose lawyers are lea-

ders in their fields.
