Pérez-Llorca

Establishing itself in Mexico via the July 2024 absorption of González Calvillo, the Mexican team at Madrid-headquartered Pérez-Llorca advises on joint ventures, strategic alliances, M&A transactions, spin-offs, privatizations, corporate restructurings and the purchase and sale of stocks and assets. Corporate governance and the implementation of special purpose vehicles are additional areas of focus. Multinationals operating in the financial services, insurance, energy and retail sectors routinely look to the group for support. Leadership of the practice is entrusted to Mexico national practice chair Jorge Mondragón, who can draw on extensive experience in corporate, commercial, technology and business retail matters; and Bernardo Reyes Retana, who majors on banking and finance, capital markets, M&A and private equity mandates. Additional key contacts include José Ignacio Rivero Andere (banking and finance, M&A, capital markets transactions); 'trusted advisor and leader in his field' Jorge Cervantes Trejo (M&A, private equity, project finance, energy and infrastructure); Rodrigo Rojas Robleda (project finance, private equity, corporate and M&A); and counsel Alberto Bustamante (M&A, corporate finance and fund formation). Recent changes to the composition of the team include the November 2024 departure of Hernando Becerra de Cima. However, January 2025 saw the arrival of María Esther Rey and María Teresa Paillés - transactional and real estate specialists, respectively - from SMPS Legal; and the promotion of Jacinto Ávalos and Jerónimo Ramos Arozarena to the partnership. In February 2025, the corporate, transactional and financing capabilities of the firm's Monterrey office were reinforced with the hire of Ricardo Morales Barrón from EC Rubio.
