Recently, Erin Findlay, Corporate Solicitor at BTO Solicitors in Scotland travelled to Argentina as part of Mackrell International’s Lawyer Exchange to spend time with ZBV Abogados in Buenos Aires.

It was a transformational experience both personally and professionally. 

This short video sums it up perfectly – and highlights the benefits both to Erin’s practice and to her firm: 

Lawyer Exchange - Erin Findlay

Head of Corporate at BTO (Erin’s department head), Jeremy Glen commented:

Erin’s experience with Francisco Roggero and the team at ZBV broadens her and our horizons, understanding how other M&A/corporate practices operate within their environs – Scotland and Argentina are very different in so many ways, and we are always keen to learn from such differences. Erin’s experiences sparked a lot of interest, both in BTO and also with our clients – who knows what may come of that!

We are very grateful to Francisco and all of the ZBV team for hosting Erin so well.”

 

And Francisco Roggero, Managing Partner at ZBV Abogados said of his Scottish charge: 

Having Erin with us last year was an absolute pleasure. She integrated seamlessly into the team, providing support across several areas of the firm, sharing experiences with our younger lawyers (including nightlife and asados!), and offering us her perspective as a Scottish lawyer. 

I believe this experience encourages us to continue hosting visiting colleagues in the future, as it is enriching both for our guests and for all of us, and will undoubtedly benefit the wider Mackrell International family.”
