The ‘technically outstanding’ Monterrey team at ’multidisciplinary and international firm’ Hogan Lovells is noted for its handling of banking and finance, corporate and M&A, dispute resolution, real estate, project finance and tax work. Hailed for its ‘sensitivity, practicality, technical knowledge and availability to solve the problems that arise’, the group is regularly called upon by lenders and borrowers (including Mexican states and municipalities), with sub-sovereign financing mandates. The practice is also frequently instructed by domestic and international companies working in the retail, energy, finance and insurance segments seeking assistance with corporate law matters and M&A transactions. Recent work highlights have included advising TC Energía Mexicana on CFE’s $471m investment in Transportadora de Gas Natural de La Huasteca; and assisting BNP Paribas Personal Finance with the design and implementation of a tax strategy. Key contacts include René Arce Lozano, who specialises in the financing of public infrastructure projects and securitisations; and Guillermo González Frankenberger, whose broad practice encompasses M&A and financial transactions, real estate and corporate governance. For his part, Jaime Espinosa handles advisory and contentious tax matters; while Alejandro García González focuses on arbitration and commercial, civil and administrative litigation. Counsel Ana Catalina Decanini has dedicated her practice to corporate and commercial law, financings and real estate transactions. At senior associate-level, the key contacts are David Esquivel, who focuses on tax consulting; and Teresa Garza Lozano, who primarily deals with contentious tax work.
