The key to success in corporate and M&A matters is the efficiency with which a deal can be executed so the client can return to their day-to-day business operations and decisions. This is our priority at Aguilar Castillo Love. We pride ourselves on our client care and putting our legal advice in a commercial context of our clients. We provide advice on what is really important; we’re business people that know the law.
Corporate is the firm’s core practice, from and to which most of the other practices derive and relate. Most corporate and M&A matters involve several areas of legal skill including, antitrust & regulatory, compliance, finance, labor and employment and tax, among others. We have experienced lawyers across these practice areas, who approach matters with a corporate lens and help clients navigate all issues that can arise in a corporate or M&A context.
We advise clients of all sectors in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, spin-offs or any kind of business combination, arrangement or restructuring. Our experience covers the entire life of a deal, local ‘one-country’ transactions, to regional and cross-border deals.
We have extensive experience in assisting start-ups and advising on general foreign direct investment and greenfield projects, as well as giving general business law support.
