Lawyer Rankings
Mexico > Real estate
Hogan Lovells houses a ‘technically sound’, eight-strong real estate practice that is known for its expertise in real estate due diligence, the sale and acquisition of real estate, leasing and condominium regimes, construction, litigation, and the operation and management of real estate developments. The ‘outstanding’ team regularly counsels international real estate developers and corporations, and operates under the leadership of a trio of experienced partners: Juan Francisco Torres Landa specialises in project financing, foreign investment and M&A; Ángel Domínguez De Pedro handles M&A and real estate financing and is lauded as having an ‘extraordinary understanding of the law’; and Monterrey-based Guillermo González Frankenberger is experienced in M&A, real estate and corporate governance. Of counsel Fernando Medina Luna majors on civil, commercial, corporate and real estate matters, including ejidos, and claims before PROFECO and local authorities. At associate level, Ana Lucía Gutiérrez Fernández is noted for her contributions on land leases, purchases, real estate portfolio transactions and administrative regulatory matters.
Mexico > Corporate and M&A
Fielding a 24-strong practice group co-led by six partners Hogan Lovells’ Mexico-based M&A offering cover the full spectrum of corporate transactions, with the added resources of a full service firm backed by a strongly integrated global firm. Unsurprisingly, the team attends a prestigious client roster with myriad “household names” – from Mondelez, IBM, Daimler and Ford, to Sony Music, Del Monte Foods and Prudential Real Estate. The practice houses a number of renowned figures, such as Juan Francisco Torres Landa, who is highly-regarded for his skills handling cross-border work and corporate restructurings; Federico De Noriega, who boasts a strong track record in joint ventures and multi-party acquisitions; and Carlos Ramos, who provides additional expertise regarding insurance and energy law in Mexico (and divides his time between the firm’s Houston and Mexico City offices). With a practice centred on the industrial, consumer products, automobile and financial services sectors, Mario Jorge Yañez also divides his time between two offices: Mexico City and Monterrey; while Guillermo González Frankenberger and July-2022 hire, counsel Gina Decanini, operate solely from Monterrey. Indeed, the pair are highlighted f0r their ‘great knowledge and experience’: Gonzalez has over 25 years’ experience in M&A, real estate, corporate governance, and commercial and corporate matter; while Decanini – formerly a partner at Canales and experience in house at Cemex – has experience across the administrative, company law, corporate, energy and real estate sectors. Rounding out the partner group, Ángel Domínguez de Pedro focuses on civil law and commercial, real estate and M&A transactions. Counsel Andrea López De La Campa, also in Mexico City, is another key member of the group and focuses on M&A, corporate reorganisations, corporate day-to-day activities and commercial cross border transactions. Corporate and M&A focused senior associate Karla Rabasa is also noted.
