The nine-strong corporate and M&A practice at Pérez Correa González is led by a well-known and experienced partner duo comprising corporate finance and M&A specialist Fernando Eraña, whose practice is oriented towards cross-border finance matters, private equity and venture capital; and Luis González, who also has considerable knowledge in private equity transactions, as part of a broader corporate and transactional practice that also takes in real estate mandates. Further partner level capability is provided by Omar Aguilar M who undertakes corporate, contractual and compliance matters; M&A, JV and finance transactions, particularly as regards the mining, hospitality and real estate industries. Indeed, real estate has long been one of the firm’s strengths but more recently it has seen an uptick of activity in relation to both the tech and distilled beverage sectors. At senior associate level, Juan Carlos Izaza (who regularly advises domestic and foreign clients on the establishment of new ventures and their corporate structures in Mexico); along with Eduardo Yrigoyen (an April 2022 hire from Galicia Abogados S.C.) and Eduardo Montenegro (who was raised to senior in September 2022) are the names to note. Former tech and M&A senior, Carlos Ugalde  left the firm in August 2022. Since publication, the team has been further strengthened with the May 2024 hire of experienced transactional partner Emilio Carrillo Peñafiel, who has deep experience in both financial and corporate transactions across the real estate, finance, telecoms and energy sectors in Mexico.
