Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate

Garrigues is an international firm with 13 offices in South America, North America, Europe and Asia. The firm has worked with Latin American firms through alliances for decades, but has recently opened its own offices in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile and Brazil. The Mexico office is in Mexico City.  

 

Highlights 

Though the firm’s M&A practice had an exceptional international presence advising buyers on several cross-border acquisitions in a myriad of industries over the research period, one of the most noteworthy acquisitions it played a role in was led by the banking and finance team. The firm advised on some of the most complex acquisition financing of the year including Aligned Data Centers acquisition financing for the acquisition of ODATA which was shortlisted for Loan Deal of the Year.  

The firm was also active on the seller side, advising Suez International in its acquisition by Veolia.  

 

Key clients  

Key clients include HP, Suez International, Deutsche Bank, BNB Paribas, IFC, Natixis and Better Collective.
