Mexico > Banking and finance
Under the leadership of domestic, cross-border and project financings expert Alejandro Landa, the banking and finance practice at Holland & Knight advises international banks on the negotiation, structuring and restructuring of financing terms, including the design and structuring of collateral packages and source-of-payment structures. A 2021 merger with US firm Thompson and Knight boosted the practice’s strength in cross-border financings, real estate and oil-and-gas; the team demonstrates further growth with the additions of associates Santiago Noriega and Paulina López Velasco in May and September 2022, respectively, along with senior counsel Elena Ibarrola in March 2022. Alejandro F Sánchez Mújica advises on structured, asset-backed, real estate and corporate financing from the Monterrey office; while in Mexico City, Aldo Gonzalez Melo -who was promoted to senior counsel in April 2023- is active on cross-border corporate, structured and project finance transactions.
