In the words of one client, the team at Galicia Abogados S.C. has an ‘in-depth understanding of the real estate sector that other teams lack’. Lauded by another for its ’high level of knowledge, professionalism, organization, attention to detail and response times’, the 12-strong group is known for advising FIBRAS, banks, real estate developers and hotel groups on commercial, industrial and residential real estate matters. Land acquisitions, joint ventures, real estate financings and refinancings, leasing and property management, real estate litigation, and environmental and regulatory matters are among its core strengths. Ramiro Sandoval co-heads the practice and routinely advises clients in the hospitality sector on complex real estate transactions; alongside him, Rodrigo Rivera is well-versed in real estate financing and related ESG matters. Key senior associates Roxana Schäfer and Mariana Islas support the partners on transactional real estate matters.
