The Firm advises on the full range of corporate and transactional work in the insurance sector: mergers and acquisitions of insurance companies and brokerage firms, strategic alliances and distribution partnerships, joint ventures, and corporate restructurings. Our transactional capabilities in insurance are reinforced by the Firm’s broader M&A, capital markets, and banking and finance practices, allowing us to coordinate complex, multidisciplinary transactions that require simultaneous attention to corporate, regulatory, tax, and competition dimensions. We have advised on several of Mexico’s most significant insurance sector transactions, including the structuring of strategic partnerships between domestic financial groups and global insurers for the distribution of insurance products.

The Firm provides comprehensive counsel on the regulatory dimensions of operating an insurance or reinsurance business in Mexico. Our work encompasses the incorporation and licensing of insurance companies, the securing of authorizations for insuring cross-border risks, the structuring of new insurance products and lines of business, and ongoing compliance with the requirements of the CNSF. We advise on capitalization and solvency requirements, corporate governance obligations, reporting and disclosure, and the administrative disciplinary proceedings that can arise from regulatory infractions. For international insurers and reinsurers seeking to establish or expand their presence in the Mexican market, the Firm provides the regulatory knowledge and market familiarity that enable them to navigate the licensing process and design compliant operating structures with confidence.

The Firm’s reinsurance practice is recognized as one of the most experienced in Mexico. We advise reinsurers and reinsurance intermediaries on the negotiation and drafting of reinsurance and retrocession agreements, the design and review of reinsurance structures and captive programs, regulatory compliance, financial reinsurance and market conduct, and the registration of foreign reinsurers with Mexican authorities. Our reinsurance work draws on a thorough understanding of the contractual and regulatory frameworks that govern the relationship between cedents and reinsurers in the Mexican market, and we bring to each engagement the capacity to address the coverage, claims, and structural questions that sophisticated reinsurance arrangements present.

The Firm advises on contentious insurance and reinsurance matters, including complex coverage disputes, claims proceedings, litigation and arbitration. Our work in this area includes the representation of insurers and reinsurers in disputes arising from large-scale coverage programs, the interpretation and enforcement of policy terms, and the defense of claims before regulatory authorities and in arbitral proceedings. Our team is conformed has one of the most respected insurance litigation practices in Mexico.  We have successfully represented clients in some of the most complex and groundbreaking insurance litigation cases, delivering on results and precedents that have become points of reference for insurers and reinsurers doing business in Mexico.

Mexico’s insurance market is increasingly shaped by international participation, as global insurance groups establish local operations, form distribution partnerships with Mexican financial institutions, and design cross-border coverage programs for multinational clients. The Firm advises international insurers, reinsurers, and brokers on every dimension of their entry and operation in the Mexican market: from initial regulatory assessment and licensing through the structuring of local entities, the design of compliant products and distribution arrangements, and the negotiation of reinsurance and retrocession treaties with foreign counterparts. We work in close coordination with our tax, competition, and corporate practice groups to deliver the integrated, multidisciplinary counsel that cross-border insurance mandates require.
