Lawyer Rankings
Mexico > Banking and finance
Recognised for being ‘dedicated to its work and always eager to help’, the team at CMS Woodhouse Lorente Ludlow is known for both its lender and borrower-side capabilities, representing major banks and construction firms (among others), as well as advising on acquisition and leveraged finance and syndicated lending transactions. Practice head Raul Zepeda’s experience encompasses a wide range of transactional and regulatory banking and finance work; Enrique Lorente Ludlow majors on project finance; corporate and project finance specialist Cesar Lechuga Perezanta is ‘committed’ and has an ‘ever-pleasant disposition’; Eduardo Saldaña and Alejandro Perera are the names to note at associate level.
Mexico > Corporate and M&A
‘Providing efficient advice applicable to the client’s reality’, CMS Woodhouse Lorente Ludlow continues to grow its young practice that now counts three partners and five associates. While continuing to act on transactional matters throughout the energy sector, and -to a lesser degree- in the infrastructure space, the group has significantly diversified its client roster, with recent matters including mandates from the food, media, pharma and gaming sectors. Most notably, it has been active in a range of tech-related mandates ranging from payment platforms to e-learning and secure networks. ‘An outstanding lawyer’, practice head Giancarlo Schievenini demonstrates ‘excellent negotiation skills’, the ‘ability to work under pressure’ and ‘communicate effectively’, along with ‘knowledge of the market’. Schievenini can also call on senior partner (and head of the office’s banking and finance practice) Raul Zepeda, who has longstanding experience in corporate and transactional matters as part of his wider practice. Key support on corporate transactional matters is provided by semi-senior Bruno Triay (corporate law/M&A – ‘very responsible’) and intermediates Sofía Reyes (M&A, corporate law, project finance and infrastructure – ‘organised and meticulous’), and Eduardo Revilla (corporate M&A, real estate and infrastructure); senior associate Gabriel Salinas is also on hand for M&A in the energy sector.
