Lauded for its ‘in-depth technical knowledge of Mexican banking law’ and ability to provide ’innovative solutions to potential legal risks’, the team at White & Case S.C. routinely assists sponsors and developers with project development and project finance mandates. The group draws on experience advising on railroad, highway, port, renewables and oil-and-gas projects. A recent highlight saw the team advise Banobras on the potential refinancing for the construction of a new Suburban Railroad route to connect Mexico City with Felipe Ángeles International Airport. Francisco De Rosenzweig steers the practice and specialises in the regulatory, contractual and financing aspects of energy, infrastructure and transportation projects. Also noted are Juan Ruenes, who focuses on infrastructure development, project finance, asset finance and general corporate matters; Juan Carlos Llorens (corporate law, project finance); and associate José Daniel Franco, whose practice is centred on the development of electricity and oil-and-gas projects.
