Alberto has been actively involved in advising domestic and internationally based banks, financial institutions, private equity investors and borrowers alike in successfully entering into all kinds of financing transactions (leveraged financing (LBOs), corporate financing, real estate financing, project finance transactions, etc.). He has also worked on complex refinancing and restructuring processes, both at a national and international level, and has also been recently involved in financing transactions through private placements.
