WHAT WE DO

We advise our private equity clients on all aspects of their activities and operations, starting from fund formation, to structuring and making investments, to successfully exiting through the capital markets or strategic sales.

Our team of attorneys have experience in structuring corporate purchases, strategic acquisitions or investments in privately and publicly held companies.

We have worked on FIBRA offerings in Mexico, and thereby taken a preeminent role in the emergence and development of the Mexican private equity fund community.

We have advised industry clients in hostile offers (both local and with cross-border implications), regulated tender offers to privatize companies, as well as divestments and purchases of minority holdings.
