Meet Enrique
Martínez Guzmán

A corporate and financial attorney with a truly international perspective, I blend rigorous legal acumen with deep financial insight to navigate complex global challenges across borders.

With a J.D. from Universidad Francisco Marroquín, an LL.M. from Columbia Law School, and dual master's degrees in finance, I have advised on multi-billion-dollar transactions, orchestrated cross-border business structures, and represented clients in high-stakes international arbitrations.

Admitted to practice in both Guatemala and New York, my independent practice emphasizes a pragmatic, business-oriented approach — always prioritizing efficiency, innovation, and tangible results. Founded in 2022, EMG delivers Big Law caliber without the bureaucracy.
