Holland & Knight

Holland & Knight's Mexican corporate team takes care of a range of related transactions, including M&A, joint venture, private equity, reorganisations and dissolutions. In addition, the drafting of commercial contracts and the provision of corporate governance advice are additional areas of expertise. The group’s client roster includes domestic and international corporations working in the petrochemicals, tech, transportation, hospitality and banking segments. The firm saw its ranks grow in April 2023, when it onboarded seven partners, two senior counsels, and eight associates from Sánchez Devanny. The corporate/M&A practice welcomed four of those partners to the firm’s Monterrey office: Francisco Andrés Gámez Garza, Humberto Morales Barrón, Jaime Israel Moreno Treviño and Oscar Quiróz Chávez ; their arrival considerably bolster's the practices capacity. Luis Rubio steers the group from Mexico City and has experience assisting companies, trade associations, and government bodies with complex corporate matters. Additional names to note in Mexico City include Octavio Lecona (telecoms, media, tech and M&A); Selene Espinosa (corporate and securities law); and Jaime Israel Moreno Treviño (corporate and real estate transactions). Xavier Mangino and senior counsel Elena Ibarrola left the firm in March 2024.
