The team primarily acts for major developers of residential, commercial and industrial projects, assisting with everything from the acquisition of land and the structuring of agreements with suppliers and sub-contractors to the creation of co-ownership regimes and the sale of the final units. In addition, it has considerable experience in the negotiation of long and short-term lease agreements. Eva Cacacho, who is singled out for her ‘experience and accessibility’, leads the practice, supported by senior associate María Fernanda Ovalle, who rejoined the team in May 2022 after a short assignment in-house at construction company Grupo Krea, and associate Karen Tzoc.
