Lauded by one client as ‘the most specialised firm in the Mexican insurance market’, the practice group at Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, SC is particularly well-placed to handle corporate, regulatory, transactional, compliance and product development mandates in the insurance space. The ’specialist’ team is also equipped to provide contentious support, routinely representing clients in claims, coverage issues, arbitration, litigation and insurance and reinsurance recoveries. The firm also stands out for its London office, which is managed by practice head Yves Hayaux-du-Tilly, who splits his time between Mexico City and the British capital. Hayaux-du-Tilly draws on significant experience assisting multinationals, Mexican and foreign investors with disputes and transactions in the insurance sector, in addition to corporate governance matters and M&A and financing transactions. Also noted is Luciano Pérez Gómez, who garners client praise for his ‘unique understanding of the insurance market’ and handles the gamut of non-contentious insurance work, including complex regulatory, corporate and product development matters. The key associate-level contacts are Enrique Salcedo for regulatory, compliance and dispute resolution in the insurance sphere and ’pragmatic problem-solver’ Mauricio López Melo, who focuses his practice on insurance and reinsurance, banking and finance, M&A and corporate law.
