Of counsel Pedro Reyes is an up-and-coming name in Paul Hastings’ market leading Mexico and Latin America practice. The Latin America team has led the way in private sector capital markets offerings by Mexican issuers, advising both underwriters and issuers. Reyes, a fluent Spanish speaker, is one of the key next generation lawyers in the team and has played a key role on a series of headline, precedent setting and transformational transactions. In March 2018, he was part of the Paul Hastings team that advised Credit Suisse as global coordinator and Credit Suisse and Citigroup as initial purchasers on Mexico City Airport FIBRA E’s $1.64bn initial public offering on the Mexican Stock Exchange. The transaction was the largest IPO in Mexico since 2013 and is fundamental to the development of the new FIBRA E structure, a Mexican energy and infrastructure investment vehicle. Paul Hastings’ team has been at the forefront of Mexico’s FIBRA market over the last few years. In 2017, Reyes was part of the team that advised Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan as the global coordinators and initial purchasers on the $912m IPO by Becle, the parent company of Jose Cuervo, the international spirits company and largest producer of tequila in the world. The Rule 144A/Reg S offering was listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange.
