Pérez-Llorca 

Founded in 1987 and located in Mexico City, González Calvillo, now Pérez-Llorca is well-known for its high-quality transactional work across the board and is experienced in most industries. In the banking and finance practice area, the team represents borrowers and lenders in credit facilities and loan agreements related to restructuring, project financing and cross border financing matters. The capital markets team works on debt, equity and securitization capital markets matters, representing issuers in bond issuances, public offerings, capital increases and trust certificate issuances. The M&A team represents buyers and sellers in private equity and strategic acquisitions. The project development team is very active in the energy and oil and gas industries 

Highlights 

Pérez-Llorca showcased its cross-border transactional strength in 2024 through its representation of NR Finance and Saavi Energía in two standout mandates. The firm advised NR Finance on a major loan transaction with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, co-financed by private institutions, to support Nissan’s automotive finance operations in Mexico, and on the cancellation of a significant securities registration. Pérez-Llorca also acted for Saavi Energía in its acquisition of a 130 MW solar plant in Durango from Northland Power affiliates, navigating complex regulatory and financing elements. These matters underscore the firm’s deep expertise in energy, finance, and capital markets across Latin America. 

Key Clients 

Key clients include Aleatica, AMIB, Banco Bradesco, NR Finance (CrediNissan), Hir Casa, IFM Investors, and Saavi Energía.
