Offering ‘timely support throughout the entire process’, the ’truly excellent’ banking and finance team at Greenberg Traurig, S.C. is well-placed to assist both lenders and borrowers with the structuring and negotiation of different types of financing transactions, including bilateral and syndicated loans, structured and project financings, acquisition financing and debt restructurings. The group is regularly instructed by banks, funds, insurance companies, institutional investors and non-bank financial institutions, as well as private and public companies. The practice is co-led by Rodrigo Orozco Waters and the ‘excellent professional’ and ’always attentive’ Miguel Moisés. Orozco Waters is dual-qualified (Mexico and New York), and specialises in public and private financing projects, foreign investment-related transactions, M&A and restructuring. For his part, Moisés handles structured financings, bilateral and syndicated loans, project finance and corporate matters. David Argueta, who was promoted to the partnership in January 2023, focuses his practice on capital markets and financing transactions, as well as general corporate matters. Prominent senior figure Juan Manuel González, who majors on the financing of energy and infrastructure projects, is an additional key contact. At senior associate level, Ana Acosta handles capital markets and corporate mandates, as well as financing transactions; while Paulina García de León (who can draw on extensive in-house experience) covers banking and finance, corporate, compliance and financial regulatory matters.

Testimonials

‘Timely support throughout the entire process, since from start to finish they accompany you legally and clarify all doubts that arise at the moment; total availability.'
‘Total empathy from the team of lawyers (Rodrigo Orozco Waters, Edgar Orozco and Daniela Cobo). The Greenberg team is outstanding as they are very dedicated to their clients, demonstrate excellent knowledge of the issues, have great support, care and are empathetic with the needs and interests of their clients. Their teams demonstrate diversity.’
‘They defend the interests of their clients in an extraordinary way and are interested in knowing their points of view, so with these elements they carry out good negotiations. It is always a pleasure to work with Miguel Moisés and Paulina García de León.'
‘The level of involvement on the part of the partners is truly different. In other firms, it is common for the point of contact to be the associate, but in the case of Greenberg, all approaches, negotiations, reviews and so on were done 100% with the partner, who provided a lot of expertise.'
‘In every way, the team was truly excellent, both Miguel Moisés and Paulina García de León. It is characterized by its in-depth knowledge of specialized topics such as marine mortgages. Lawyers and partners are continually attentive to matters. They have a diverse team in all aspects, which generates trust in clients.'
‘Miguel Moisés is a very technical lawyer, he explains the issues very well to banks and other clients. The lawyers' treatment is kind, respectful and warm, generating bonds of trust. It compares favourably with other offices. They are dedicated and knowledgeable in their corresponding practice area.'
