Experience

Thomas Mueller joined the firm in 1984 and has been a partner since 1987.

He is internationally recognized as a leading lawyer in project finance within the energy and infrastructure sectors in Mexico. He has participated in landmark transactions in the hydrocarbons and electricity sectors, such as the Samalayuca project —the first power plant in Mexico built and financed with private equity—, the financing of the nitrogen production and injection plant for the Cantarell oil field, and the development of several wind farms in the state of Oaxaca.

Thomas has also advised domestic and international clients on financial transactions, including cross-border secured and unsecured loans, derivatives, and mergers and acquisitions.

Before joining the firm, he worked in the legal departments of Siemens in Munich, BC Berlin Consult, and Banco Nacional de México. He was admitted to the Berlin Bar in 1977 and gained international experience as a foreign associate at White & Case in New York.
