More informationMore information

‘Willingness, knowledge and experience’ are the calling cards of the team at Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC, which is also described as being ’always up to date’ and providing ‘excellent customer service’. The practice is well-versed in capital markets transactions such as securitisations and structured finance, equity placements, IPOs, tender offers and equity fund leveraged buyouts. Companies from the financial, aerospace and construction sectors, non-bank financial institutions and international banks dominate its client list. Michell Nader single-handedly leads the practice and provides first-rate counsel on the gamut of capital markets transactions; he recently advised Vinci Airports on the acquisition of a 29.9% ownership interest in Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (value: $819.5m). Julián Garza is experienced in matters involving securitisations, equity issuances, CKDs, FIBRAs and CERPIs; Hans Goebel has niche specialism in security issuances; Gunter Schwandt is praised as an ’excellent lawyer’ whose perspective is ‘orientated towards the best interests of the client’s business’ –  he has participated in high-profile securitisations and has strong knowledge of CKDs and FIBRAs. Ana Paula Telleria specialises in innovative private placements, CKDs and FIBRAs, and much of her transactional work is real estate-related. Partner Hector Arangua left the firm in January 2023. Since publication, the team has been strengthened with the return of Jenny Ferrón -after three years at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP's New York office- as a partner (effective as of May 2024).
