Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC
Client SatisfactionHead of Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC's insurance practice, Yves Hayaux-du-Tilly's 'knowledge and analysis is of the highest level' and he is widely recognised as one of the pioneers of specialist advice in this area in Mexico. Primarily located in London, Hayaux-du-Tilly returns to Mexico on a monthly basis and oversees a longstanding practice that operates at the top of the market and which handles both contentious and non-contentious matters. The four largest insurance companies operating in Mexico (AXA, GNP, MetLife and Seguros BBVA) are all regular clients of the practice, seeking counsel from the firm's experienced insurance bench, as well as its finance team with whom the insurance partners collaborate closely. Luciano Pérez ('the best insurance lawyer in the country') is praised for 'his knowledge of regulation' in the insurance space and is well equipped to handle the gamut of non-contentious insurance matters, as well as claims, settlement negotiations, policy analysis and coverage opinions. Enrique Salcedo ('an extraordinary lawyer') is the associate level contact to note, while senior partner Julián Garza lends his expertise on transactional matters.
