Galicia Abogados S.C.

Notable full-service firm Galicia Abogados S.C. opened the doors of its Monterrey office in 2016. Since then, the ‘pragmatic and efficient’ team has consolidated a reputation for advising domestic industrial groups, investment funds, financial institutions and international companies on a range of legal matters that includes banking and finance, corporate and M&A, bankruptcy and restructuring, real estate, international trade, tax and dispute resolution. Leadership of the office is entrusted to Eugenio Sepúlveda (who also co-heads the firm’s national bankruptcy and restructuring group), and transactional specialist Rosemarie McLaren. Sepúlveda focuses on insolvency and financial transactions; while the ’pragmatic and decisive’ McLaren specialises in banking and finance work, routinely handling local and cross border, bilateral and syndicated loans, as well as commercial real estate and general corporate financing mandates. Additional key contacts include associates Andrés Caro de la Fuente, who handles debt and corporate restructurings, civil and commercial litigation, financings and M&A transactions, along with compliance investigations; tax litigation specialist Alejandro Madero; Mariana Islas (M&A and real estate transactions); and Andrés Muñiz (customs and international trade). A recent mandate of note saw the team assist Grupo AIEn with the acquisition of the assets of Mercancías Salubres.
