About

Provided by Galicia Abogados, S.C.

Our Banking & Finance team turns 150+ years of combined dealmaking experience into the region's sharpest financing practice, trusted by global banks, funds, sponsors, and Mexico and Latin America´s largest corporates for the transactions that redefine the market.

We don't just close deals, we set benchmarks. Our lawyers have led multiple Deal of the Year mandates across syndicated and acquisition finance, structured and project finance, private credit, and securitizations, and we're the only Mexican practice that fuses this transactional firepower with leading-caliber regulatory bench strength, licensing, enforcement, and financial-sector compliance handled in-house, not outsourced.

From Mexico City to Monterrey, we deliver one integrated team across financing, financial-institutions M&A, real estate and sub-sovereign finance, and cross-border structuring, built for the deals that other firms can't execute alone.
