Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate

Kuri Breña Sánchez Ugarte & Aznar has over 30 years of experience. The firm is located in Mexico City and is best known for its work in banking and capital markets.

 

Highlights

Over the research period, Kuri Brena acted as the legal counsel in the structuring and implementation of the first issuance of long-term notes under a five-year scheme. This first issuance, which saw the collaboration of financial institutions Banorte, BBVA, and Scotiabank as placement agents, earned the “AAA” rating from S&P and Fitch. Furthermore, it demonstrated a commitment to global sustainability, aligning with 14 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Kuri Brena also provided legal advice to their client, Prologis in connection with the acquisition of over 100 hectors of property to develop an industrial complex. The transaction’s complexity is heightened by the multitude of sellers and intricate agrarian laws, leading to significant delays caused by the authorities. This role requires the team at Kuri Brena to navigate through a complex legal landscape and manage a multifaceted negotiation process efficiently.
