Praised for its ’24/7 availability’ and ‘real transactional understanding’, the corporate and M&A team at what is now the Mexican office of Spain's Pérez-Llorca (following it's July 2024 absorbtion of González Calvillo) is equipped to handle corporate restructurings, shareholders’ agreements, joint ventures, divestitures, share purchase agreements, and domestic and cross-border M&A. The provision of corporate governance advice to companies in the financial services, retail, tech, logistics and energy segments is an additional core area of strength. A recent standout matter saw the team advise Fibra Prologis on the construction, development, financing and operation of rooftop solar panels at industrial facilities located throughout Mexico. Key figures include co-managing partner José Ignacio Rivero Andere, who specialises in corporate finance, M&A and capital markets transactions; Jorge Cervantes Trejo, who takes care of M&A, project finance, private equity and energy matters; and Rodrigo Rojas Robleda, who deals with private equity, corporate and foreign investment work, as well as joint ventures and strategic alliances. Hernando Becerra de Cima (cross-border M&A, financing transactions) and Bernardo Reyes Retana (securities, capital markets, M&A, financial regulatory matters) complete the group of partners. Senior associate Jacinto Ávalos focuses on M&A, banking and finance, private equity and capital markets transactions. Former practice co-heads José Victor Torres Gómez and Daniel Guaida left the firm in April 2024, as did counsel Rosa Elena Coto.
