Career
Jaime Espinosa de los Monteros is well-versed in tax law in Mexico. With a career spanning nearly 25 years, he relies on his vast knowledge of transactional issues, constitutional, and administrative litigation to advise clients on state and federal taxes, international double taxation, mergers and acquisitions, and project finance.
He also helps clients devise tax strategies related to private equity funds, mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, real estate, and assists with customs matters, international matters (including double taxation treaties), and tax refunds.
One of his key attributes is the combination of his deep experience in transactional issues with his natural skill to determine whether some structures or business models may have grounds to be sustained before tax and federal courts.
Before joining Hogan Lovells, he was a leading partner at a renowned tax consulting firm in Mexico that the International Tax Review named Mexico Tax Firm of the Year, Latin America M&A Firm of the Year, Latin America Capital Markets Tax Firm of the Year, and Latin America Energy Tax Firm of the Year. Before that, he was in charge of the tax area of another firm in Monterrey, where he developed a tax and customs strategy to create a dry port in Nuevo León, as well as tax, legal, financial, and foreign trade for the construction of the towers of a power plant in Queens, New York.

The Monterrey team at Hogan Lovells is well-regarded for its handling of banking and finance, corporate and M&A, litigation, real estate, project finance and tax work. On the banking and finance front – one of its core strengths – the group is regularly called upon by lenders and borrowers alike, as well as assisting Mexican states and municipalities with sub-sovereign financing mandates. Domestic and international companies working in the heavy industry, healthcare, food and beverage, and financial services’ sectors also look to the group for assistance with corporate matters and M&A transactions. Recent mandates of note have also seen the practice group active on real estate transactions, such as the acquisition of an industrial facility in Matamoros, Tamaulipas; and the negotiation of a lease agreement for an industrial park in Escobedo, Nuevo León. Key contacts include René Arce Lozano, who is lauded by one client as ‘generating great added value with his ideas’ and is well-versed in structured financing operations, securitizations, project finance and PPPs. Guillermo González Frankenberger‘s broad practice takes in M&A, real estate, corporate governance and finance matters; he has notable knowledge of the maquiladora and automotive sectors. Jaime Espinosa de los Monteros advises clients on state and federal tax matters, M&A and project finance, as well as representing them in constitutional and administrative litigation.
