About

Recognised by peers as ‘one of the most talented lawyers in Monterrey’, Hans Hutterer joined FINSA, the real estate developer, in 2002. He was promoted to general counsel in 2004 and since 2012 has served as vice president and general counsel of the corporate group and a member of the board of directors and investment committee. Since creating the legal department, Hutterer has positioned it as a key player in all transactions and in the overall strategy of FINSA, as well as designed and established responsive processes to meet business demands. Known as someone who ‘always gets the deals done’, Hutterer says the changes enable the team to better understand ‘the business and administrative sides of the transactions leading to smoother negotiations and timely contract executions’. Responsible for the company’s overall legal strategy and regulatory compliance, Hutterer has led the FINSA legal team in several real estate and financing transactions involving portfolios composed over 2.5 million square metres with an accumulated value of over $1bn. He also participated as head counsel in the incorporation of successful joint ventures with GE Real Estate, American International Group (AIG), Walton Street Capital and Casas GEO. Recognising his wide expertise, one source says ‘Hutterer has plenty of experience on financial matters and the structuring and operation of CKDs, matters that did not used to be typical for an in-house lawyer of a real estate development company’.
