DLA Piper is pleased to announce that Margarita Oliva Sainz de Aja has joined the firm’s New York office as a partner in the Finance group and Project Finance sub-group.

Margarita currently serves as the Finance practice group leader in Latin America. She advises financial institutions and corporations on financing and commercial transactions across the region.

Margarita has 25 years of extensive experience in project finance matters, particularly in helping major multilateral agencies, commercial financial institutions, sponsors, project companies and ECAs to structure and negotiate complex, multijurisdictional infrastructure and energy transactions. She also advises on a variety of general bank finance, capital markets and corporate transactions, including cross-border mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and outsourcings.
