Banking and finance

Garnering praise for its 'proactive approach and commitment to excellence', the group of 'strategic thinkers, empathetic communicators and driven professionals' at Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. is well-placed to assist banks, investment funds, REITS, insurance companies and fintechs as lenders, borrowers or guarantors alike. The team frequently handles structured and DIP financings, syndicated loan facilities, project finance, acquisition financings, and secured and unsecured financings. A recent highlight saw the group advise Grupo Axo on the negotiation and implementation of a syndicated credit agreement for an amount up to MXN$6.5bn. Leadership of the practice is shared between firm chairman Carlos Aiza, who specialises in capital markets and corporate finance; and 'excellent professional' Giovanni Ramírez Garrido, who handles acquisition finance, structured finance, asset-backed financings, bankruptcy and restructuring. Also noted are Pedro Velasco (banking and finance, bankruptcy and capital markets); and Alejandro Isaac (banking and finance, restructuring, project finance), both of whom are lauded for their 'strategic vision'. Emilio Aarún majors on banking, finance, and bankruptcy and restructuring mandates. Following the departure of former senior Adriana Colliers, who moved in house at Vanguard in September 2024, Martín Pavón Pérez and Lorena Bustamante are the key associate-level contacts; both support the partners across the gamut of banking and finance matters.
