'Efficiency, quality' and 'legal certainty' are the calling cards of the first-rate team at Cuatrecasas, which is routinely instructed by companies in the financial services, education, real estate and retail spaces seeking assistance with a range of capital markets mandates. Core areas of expertise include the issuance of securities and bonds, the structuring of financial instruments, the negotiation of financing contracts, the implementation of IPO strategies and the restructuring of debt and equity. The practice is directed by capital markets specialist Gizeh Polo, who joined the firm from Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. in September 2023 and is praised for his 'track record of first transaction design' and 'exceptional capacity for diagnosis, creativity and innovation'.
