‘Knowledge, speed, quality in deliverables, and practicality’ are the calling cards of the group at Mijares, Angoitia, Cortés y Fuentes S.C., which specialises in advising financial institutions and multinationals on the financing of infrastructure projects - primarily renewables, oil-and-gas, water treatment, waste management, ports, highways and railroads. A recent highlight saw the group assist Aleatica and Invex Infraestructura with the negotiation and execution of a structured financing by means of a loan agreement for up to MXN $4.8bn in order to refinance its debt. A trio of partners shares leadership of the practice: Horacio De Uriarte focused on advising both lenders and borrowers in relation to project finance mandates, as well as on the regulatory aspects of energy and infrastructure projects - notably those involving natural gas pipelines, LNG terminals and toll road projects. Patricio Trad majors on M&A, corporate and structured finance, securities regulation, and infrastructure and energy matters; and Eugenio Macouzet handles corporate matters, debt and equity offerings, real estate, and projects work. Senior associate Anacandy Perusquía's practice is centred on private equity transactions, M&A, and corporate and project finance; associate Aisha Calderón has a growing role in renewable energy and environmental matters.
