DLA Piper Mexico‘s corporate team is well-versed in a range of transactions including public and private M&A, spin-offs, asset sales, corporate restructurings, joint ventures, and strategic alliances. Additional pillars of practice include due diligence, tax planning and corporate governance. Four practitioners share leadership of the group. Office co-director Mauricio Valdespino routinely advises private equity firms and institutional investors on complex M&A transactions; while Álvaro Garza-Galván provides both advisory and transactional support.
