More informationMore information

Operating from offices in both Mexico City and Monterrey, specialist boutique Del Castillo y Castro Abogados is a strong choice for bankruptcy matters. The team’s expertise encompasses restructuring, workouts, insolvency, general civil litigation and arbitration. Moreover, the group – whose members stand out for their ‘great experience and customer service’ – handles both the transactional aspects of restructurings (securities issuances) as well as the judicial side (concurso mercantil and litigation), representing both debtors and creditors. The practice is jointly led by the firm’s founding partners: Fernando Del Castillo, a specialist in insolvency, civil and mercantile litigation and arbitration; and Alfonso Castro, who brings corporate, banking, finance and capital markets experience to the table. Associate Karla Gabriela Silva  assists with civil and commercial litigation, workouts, insolvency, commercial arbitration and other alternate dispute resolution methods. Linda García de Alba was promoted to the partnership in January 2023. Since publication, Silva has left the firm – effective as of January 2024.
