Our M&A practice enjoys a global reputation as one of Mexico´s leading transactional teams. Our deep experience derives from handling many of the largest, most complex, and high-value and demanding M&A transactions in the country. We advise on a wide range of corporate matters, including domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity and strategic investments, joint ventures, buyouts, divestments, spin-offs and split-ups, and public takeovers.
Our leadership is also based on the expertise and natural interactions with our litigation and regulatory practices that inevitably become involved and are central to large-scale M&A transactions. What sets us apart is the depth of such regulatory expertise and our ability to attend every type of litigation arising out of M&A transactions. In cross border deals, we are used to work seamlessly alongside global elite firms in an efficient and coordinated manner.
Our focus, experience and differentiator is when dealing with complex M&A transactions, which involve regulatory and specific industry experience. In such light, we have developed a robust private equity experience across different industries.
We advise both public and private acquirers and targets, and work with individual entrepreneurs, small family businesses, as well as large national and multinational corporations, including important investment funds, on their most strategic and transformative transactions.
