Mexico > Corporate and M&A
Following the 2022 tie-up with the former Thompson & Knight, Holland & Knight has further demonstrated its commitment to the Latin America market – and México in particular – with the April-2023 incorporation of a sizeable multidisciplinary group (seven partners, two senior counsels and eight associates) from local firm Sánchez Devanny. As specifically regards the corporate/M&A practice, this included former practice co-head Francisco Andrés Gámez Garza, along with Humberto Morales Barrón, Jaime Israel Moreno Treviño and Oscar Quiróz Chávez, all of whom joined the firm’s Monterrey office. They join a department led by Mexico managing partner Luis Rubio (a well-known market figure who has particular expertise in the TMT segment), which is highlighted for its ‘vast knowledge and experience with respect to Mexican Law but also in complex international transactions’. Octavio Lecona (‘knowledgeable’, ‘a rounded professional’) provides additional expertise in the telecoms and tech areas as part of a broader practice that takes in M&A, joint ventures, corporate restructuring and contractual matters. Corporate partner Xavier Magnino and senior counsel Elena Ibarrola are further names to note in the Mexico City office (both having arrived from DLA Piper Mexico in March 2022), as is Selene Espinosa who was promoted to partner in January 2023; of counsel Alejandro F Sánchez Mújica and partner Alejandro A Sánchez Mújica A are, in turn, additional names to note in the Monterrey office. Recent matters include mandates in the aviation, shipping, financial services, technology & telecoms, industrial & manufacturing, and oil & gas sectors, among others.
