Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate

Galicia Abogados has over a quarter of a century of experience operating in two locations, Mexico City and Monterrey. The firm has experience working in banking, M&A, capital markets and restructuring and insolvency. 

 

Highlights 

In project development, the firm's recent work includes advising CRRC in connection with the Long-term services agreement for the Integral Modernizations of Trains. This also included the execution of a loan agreement to cover the project costs under the PPS Contract. The deal required complex negotiations and expertise in regulatory matters. This transaction was CRRC's first project in Mexico, winning the Latin Finance PIFA Infrastructure Financing of the Year award for 2023. 

Among other notable achievements, the firm represented Inversiones and Empresas in the shelf registration of a long-term notes program, overseeing both the initial and subsequent note issuances. Their adept handling of additional legal intricacies, particularly given the foreign issuer, underscores Galicia’s capacity to manage highly complex matters across various jurisdictions. 

 

Key Clients  

Key clients include Coca-Cola FEMSA, GRUMA, Arca Continental, Grupo Bimbo, ALSEA, Ardian, ODATA, Macquaire Infrastructure Partners, Grupo Mexico, GIC Special Investments.
