‘Specialisation, attention to detail and great customer service’ are the calling cards of the corporate and M&A group at Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC. The team, which is well-versed in cross-border M&A transactions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, associations, takeovers, divestitures and regulatory mandates, is frequently instructed by corporate and private equity clients. A recent highlight saw the team advise the shareholders of JP Sofi Express on the sale of 100% of their equity interest to DiDi Group. Practice head Michell Nader has an outstanding track record advising major foreign investors on substantial acquisitions of Mexican assets, as well as deep banking, finance and restructuring experience. Additional key contacts include Julián Garza (capital markets, corporate and M&A, private equity transactions); Hans Goebel (banking and finance, M&A, private equity, capital markets, real estate and corporate and commercial law); and Yves Hayaux-Du-Tilly, who splits his time between the firm’s London and Mexico City offices, and combines his insurance practice with corporate and transactional matters. Luciano Pérez, who has notable corporate transactional experience in the insurance, banking and fintech sectors; José Antonio Noguera (corporate law, corporate governance, M&A, finance, restructuring and workouts); and Miguel Ángel González, who was promoted to the partnership in January 2025 and majors on financings, capital markets and corporate law, complete the senior corporate bench. Of counsel José Manuel Zavala undertakes M&A, financings and corporate law; he was joined in January 2025 by Thomas E. Heather — formerly in-house at Macquarie Group — who handles M&A, project finance and structured financing transactions. Former senior associate Rose Marie Harfush moved in house at Koval in March 2025. Since publication, transactional and bankruptcy associate Jorge Bojalil has been promoted to the partnership - effective as of January 2026.
