About

Provided by Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C.

One of our core practice areas has traditionally been Mergers and Acquisitions, where we advise foreign and domestic clients on all aspects of buying, selling or combining companies and businesses across regulated and unregulated industries.

Over the years we have represented foreign and domestic clients in a wide array of M&A transactions, including:

  • Negotiated acquisitions
  • Mergers and spin-offs
  • Tender offers
  • Leveraged buy-outs
  • Management buy-outs
  • Joint ventures and strategic alliances
  • Corporate restructurings
  • Privatizations

Our main strength and competitive advantage in the field of M&A is our combination of transactional expertise, our specialized knowledge of most industry sectors and multi-disciplinary teams with lawyers from our different specialist groups, such as antitrust and competition, employment and labor, tax, real estate, environmental and intellectual property. Such transaction expertise, business acumen and multi-disciplinary breadth has proven time and time again to be an indispensable asset when structuring and executing on complex, innovative and time-sensitive M&A transactions.
