SMPS Legal

The practice group at SMPS Legal is equipped to handle a range of advisory and transactional corporate mandates, among them M&A transactions, joint ventures, the development of foreign capital structures and the incorporation of private capital funds. Equity investment funds, portfolio managers, financial institutions, REITs and publicly traded companies routinely feature on the group’s client roster. Following the January 2025 departure of co-heads María Teresa Paillés and María Esther Rey, the practice is co-directed by experienced practitioners Eduardo Pizarro Suárez, Daniel del Río, Andrés Pizarro Suárez and Iván Pérez Correa. Eduardo Pizarro Suárez specialises in business planning, the structuring of spin-offs and Mexican and foreign capital investments; del Río majors on matters of foreign investment, international and financial agreements, real estate, antitrust and insurance law. Andrés Pizarro Suárez, in turn, deals with M&A, real estate, restructurings and corporate and regulatory matters; while Pérez Correa focuses on capital markets and financial transactions, M&A and corporate law. Associates Nadiezhda Vázquez (banking and finance, corporate and real estate); and Andrés González (capital markets transactions, real estate, corporate and M&A) are also noted.
