What Zang, Bergel & Viñes Abogados does

Zang, Bergel & Viñes Abogados (ZBV) is a full-service Argentine law firm founded in 1975 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, with a secondary office in the same city. The firm operates through 30+ specialized practice areas organized across core transactional disciplines (Corporate Law & M&A, Banking & Capital Markets, Insolvency & Distressed M&A, Litigation & Arbitration, Tax, Labor Law) and industry verticals including Real Estate & Construction, Energy & Natural Resources, Mining, Oil & Gas, Insurance & Reinsurance, Technology/Media/Telecommunications, Pharma/Health/Biotech, Gaming & Esports, Sports & Entertainment, E-Commerce, Consumer & Retail, and Public & Governmental Affairs.

ZBV serves domestic and multinational enterprises, financial institutions, startups, VC funds, government contractors, and nonprofit organizations across Argentina and selected international markets (notably US capital markets transactions and regional LATAM mandates). Revenue is generated through professional-services fees — hourly billing, fixed project fees, or retainer arrangements — negotiated per engagement. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct partner engagement, professional networks, referrals, and an inbound website channel; the firm supplements this with thought-leadership content via "Actualidad ZBV" and brand presence on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Technically, ZBV has no proprietary technology platform; its core product is legal advisory delivered by partners and associates. Recent strategic emphasis includes a newly launched AI, Data & Privacy practice and a Venture Capital/Startups practice led by named partners, alongside the appointment of Francisco J. Roggero as Managing Partner in 2023. Marquee mandates include YPF/Gas del Estado privatizations, IRSA NYSE and CRESUD NASDAQ IPOs, Manhattan real estate acquisitions (Lipstick Building, 183 Madison Ave), the Parque de la Costa acquisition, and Banco Hipotecario's Pro.Cre.Ar. housing program.
