According to one client, the ‘business-oriented’ team at Ritch, Mueller y Nicolau, S.C. stands out for its ’availability, dedication, and understanding’. The focus of the practice group’s work lies in assisting domestic and international companies with M&A transactions, private equity fund management, divestments, negotiations, due diligence, and regulatory compliance. It is frequently instructed by corporate clients working in the infrastructure, energy, real estate, pharmaceutical, healthcare and financial services sectors, and a recent work highlight saw the group assist Chilean human capital asset platform Rankmi with its merger with Mexican technology consulting and software agency Volanto RH. Luis Nicolau steers the department and specialises in finance, corporate and capital markets mandates, for which he is frequently called upon by foreign and domestic private equity funds and international financial entities. Eduardo Triulzi (banking and finance, M&A); market mainstay Jean Paul Farah (capital markets, energy and infrastructure projects, restructurings, and M&A); Gabriel Robles (banking and finance, M&A, capital markets); Héctor Cárdenas Ortega (M&A and Real Estate); and Eric Silberstein (capital markets and M&A) are additional key department figures. Following the June 2023 departure of Daniel Kuri Breña R, Eduardo Aiza Vaudrecourt is the name to note at associate level.
