About

Provided by Galicia Abogados, S.C.

Our Capital Markets team is the market's first call for the deals that define Mexico's capital markets, from landmark 144A/Reg S offerings and public M&A to the CBFI, CKD, CERPI, and FIBRA-E structures that only a handful of practices in the region can execute.

We don't just get deals done, we engineer financing strategy. Full-spectrum debt and equity execution, deep sustainable-finance credentials, and a public-company governance bench that boards actually rely on, all backed by true magic-circle-style integration across Banking & Finance, M&A, Energy, Infrastructure, and Tax.

The result: a single, seamless team trusted by issuers and financial institutions on the market's most sophisticated, cross-border, and high-stakes transactions, consistently ranked by the world's leading legal directories for it. Galicia boasts a market-leading capital markets team and is involved in the most complex and high-profile transactions in the market.
