Mexico > Capital markets
The capital markets group at Holland & Knight has a track record assisting both Mexican and foreign entities, including companies, funds, trusts and financial institutions, with public and private issuances to secure financing through the stock market. A key area of focus for the team is the structuring of REITs, and it is also regularly involved in capital and debt issuances related to FIBRAs, as well as IPOs and follow-ons. A recent highlight saw the team advise SMBC on a global $400m syndicated loan facility for Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior. Following the March 2024 departure of ex-practice head Xavier Mangino, the group is directed by Guillermo Uribe, whose practice encompasses banking and securities law, capital markets, structured finance, syndicated loans and securities-related compliance matters. Adrián Gay has focused his practice on REITs, SPACs, CKDs, and financing transactions; and Alejandro Landa handles structured finance, M&A, project finance, and real estate transactions. The key name to note at associate level is Jorge González Carlini, who is active on real estate and finance matters. April 2023 saw the arrival of a group of 17 lawyers from Sánchez Devanny to the firm’s Mexico City and Monterrey offices, among them corporate, real estate, and capital markets practitioner Francisco Andrés Gámez Garza. Senior counsel Elena Ibarrola also left the firm in March 2024.
Mexico > Projects and infrastructure
Praised for its ‘profound knowledge’, the team at Holland & Knight LLP is equipped to assist developers, commercial and development banks, and government entities with the financing of projects involving urban infrastructure, highways, airports, waste and wastewater, telecoms, electricity and hydrocarbons. Three partners share leadership of the practice: Alejandro Landa (who also directs the banking and finance group), is lauded as ‘very dedicated, available 24-7, and proactive’; he specialises in corporate, M&A, capital markets, real estate and the financing of infrastructure and energy projects. Carlos Ochoa majors on energy, infrastructure, real estate, project finance and M&A transactions; and Rodolfo Rueda, who divides his time between Mexico City and Houston, and deals with regulatory and government affairs, as well as cross-border natural resources and energy transactions. Senior counsel Aldo Gonzalez Melo‘s practice focuses on corporate law, projects, and structured and public finance, as well as the structuring of infrastructure and energy transactions. Since publication, the practice has been further strengthened with the hire of Mónica Rodríguez Díaz as a senior policy advisor; her experience includes both time at the Comision Reguladora de Electricidad (CRE) and as an independent energy consultant.
