Transport: Aviation in Paraguay

GHP Abogados

GHP Abogados has a genuinely full-service offering, although the firm is probably best known for its predominance in the aviation sector, part of a broader transportation practice that also takes in maritime matters. The practice undertakes advisory on all local and international regulatory requirements concerning the licensing and operation of cargo transportation, both aeronautical and maritime, as well as handling claims, operational advisory and the representation of national and international clients in navigation cases, cargo claims, freight breakdowns, vessel registrations and all types of contentious representation. Aviation specialist Alejandro José Piera’s practice spans financings, international trade, insurance, environmental law, IT and telecoms matters. Further partner-level engagement comes from Alejandro Guanes, head of the firm’s corporate and M&A practice, who also handles aviation matters, while at the associate level, senior Patrica Flor and intermediate Alma Benitez are the key names to note. Flor’s practice focuses on corporate law, foreign investment, maritime regulations, insurance and environmental law, while Benitez’ practice is fully centred on transportation matters, where she has deep experience in administrative proceedings before public entities such as the Civil Aviation Authority (DINAC), National Customs Bureau (DNA), General Naval Prefecture (PGN), Merchant Navy (MN), Public Procurement Administration (DNC) and Consumer Authority (SEDECO).
