The expereinced capital markets team at Mijares, Angoitia, Cortés y Fuentes S.C. is well-equipped to assist issuers, underwriters, structuring and placement agents, investors and rating agencies with the gamut of capital markets mandates. Core strengths for the group include debt and securities offerings, public and private placements, securitisations and structured finance transactions, as well as advising on public tender offers and real estate trust certificate offerings. Leadership is shared between Manuel Echave, Martín Sánchez and Patrick Meshoulam. Echave specialises in the design and implementation of structured financing schemes; Sánchez handles equity issuances, structured equity transactions, multiple offering programs and multi-financing structures; and Meshoulam's slightly broader practice encompasses corporate law, capital markets, and banking and finance. Additional names to note include Ricardo Maldonado, Patricio Trad and Carlos Jiménez Cantú, who cover the full spectrum of corporate transactional and structured finance matters. Garnering client praise as an 'expert in the field', associate José Pellón focuses on corporate law, capital markets and banking finance.
