Recently strengthened by its July 2024 integration of González Calvillo, the Mexican team at Madrid-headquartered Pérez-Llorca further reinforced its position in the market with the January 2025 hires of real estate and corporate specialists and SMPS Legal ex-practice co-heads María Teresa Paillés and María Esther Rey. Paillés now directs the practice, which is well-placed to advise on the purchase, leasing and sale of real estate, financing mandates and a variety of regulatory matters. Developers, lenders, investment banks, pension funds and real estate investment funds routinely look to the group for support. Key names to note include Alfredo Chávez Goyeneche, who focuses on corporate law, regulatory issues, real estate and project development; senior associate Haydeé Montserrat González Tavira (real estate and M&A transactions, contract negotiation and construction); and associate Joaquín Alcalá Cuéllar (corporate, M&A and real estate).
