Sainz Abogados

The practice group at Sainz Abogados is well-versed in assisting corporations with corporate restructurings, strategic alliances, joint ventures, M&A transactions, as well as providing corporate governance advice. Recent mandates have seen the team advise on M&A transactions involving entities in the tech, hospitality, heavy industry and retail spaces. The practice is co-led by well-known practitioners Octavio Hernández and José Victor Torres. Hernández specialises in private equity transactions and M&A processes resulting from shareholder conflicts, corporate restructurings and reorganisations. Torres, in turn, handles primarily cross-border M&A transactions (along with syndicated loans, leasings and securities offerings); he arrived as part of a wider group from the firm formerly known as González Calvillo in April 2024, along with Daniel Guaida Azar (M&A, financings, private equity transactions, corporate governance and project finance); and counsel Rosa Elena Coto (asset purchases, corporate restructurings, capitalisations, spin-offs and co-investments). Santiago Alessio Robles (corporate reorganisations, insolvency procedures and M&A); and associate Daniela Alcázar (corporate restructurings, reorganisations and M&A) are additional key contacts.
