Sánchez Devanny

Lauded for its ‘excellent commercial knowledge’, the corporate group at Sánchez Devanny operates across three offices situated in Mexico City, Monterrey and Querétaro and is regularly instructed by domestic and international companies working in the automotive, retail, real estate development, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and energy segments. Areas of expertise for the team include stock acquisitions and divestitures, corporate reorganisations, M&A transactions, and the acquisition of financial entities. Key department figures include Monterrey office managing partner Ernesto Silvas-Medina, known for his experience in cross-border M&A, stock and asset acquisition transactions and joint ventures; Querétaro-based Diego Gómez-Haro, who is well-versed in the structuring of investment vehicles, asset and stock acquisitions and sales, and financing mandates; and Mexico City-based Jose Antonio Postigo-Uribe, who has particular energy-sector expertise and handles M&A, private equity, corporate restructuring, project finance and real estate. Daniel Maldonado Alcántara, also in Mexico City, takes care of M&A, contracts and real estate matters. Former Monterrey-based partners Gerardo Prado-Hernandez, Francisco Andrés Gámez Garza, and Humberto Morales-Barron left the firm in April 2023, as did senior associates Jaime Israel Moreno-Treviño, Oscar Quiroz, and Rogelio Azcárraga. In addition, partner Cristina Sánchez Vebber departed to establish her own practice in August of the same year. Following these moves, Marisol González-Echevarría and Debby McKey Durán were promoted to the partnership in January 2024 – both were previously senior associates at the Mexico City office and specialise in M&A, corporate governance, and joint ventures. Significantly, the firm is currently in discussion to merge with Garrigues' Mexico office.
