Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC

Insurance and Reinsurance, Banking and Finance, M&A

Partner and managing partner of NHG’s London office

Yves Hayaux-du-Tilly is a partner at Nader Hayaux Goebel and is recognized as one of Latin America's leading authorities in insurance and reinsurance law, as well as in climate and nature governance.

Over thirty-five years he has advised Mexican and foreign insurers, reinsurers, multinationals, business owners, governments and investors on the most sophisticated transactions and disputes in the insurance sector, as well as on financing and M&A transactions across Mexico and the Latin American region.

Yves also works with investors, family offices and the next generation of leaders who understand that climate and nature are no longer peripheral concerns, but a responsibility and most certainly, an opportunity, that belongs in the boardroom. He helps them bring these issues to the highest level of governance and turn them into decisions: from meeting directors' fiduciary duties in the face of climate change, to designing investment and governance strategies aligned with the transition to a regenerative economy.
