We advise distressed companies and their stakeholders on debt restructurings, liability management transactions, and corporate reorganizations. Drawing on Mexico’s strong tradition of consensual solutions, we develop strategies to preserve enterprise value and, where appropriate, avoid the cost and disruption of formal insolvency proceedings.

Our lawyers combine extensive restructuring experience with proven banking, finance, and corporate capabilities to design and implement capital and debt structures, debt-to-equity conversions, rescue financings, M&A transactions, asset sales, orderly liquidations, and intercreditor arrangements, while seeking to reconcile the sometimes competing interests of secured and unsecured creditors.

We represent domestic and international creditors, including banks, bondholders, investment funds, and trade creditors, as well as debtors across a broad range of industries.

Our lawyers have played leading roles in landmark matters shaping the practical application of Mexico’s lending and insolvency framework.

We advise investors and strategic acquirers on acquiring distressed loans, companies, and assets, helping them identify opportunities while managing execution and legal risk.

Our restructuring practice works seamlessly with the Firm’s M&A, private equity, banking and finance, capital markets, tax, and labor teams. This integrated approach enables us to execute sophisticated transactions inside and outside formal insolvency proceedings, including cross-border acquisitions that require coordination across multiple jurisdictions.

We represent clients at every stage of proceedings under Mexico’s Ley de Concursos Mercantiles, from conciliation through liquidation. Occasionally, we advise conciliators, receivers, and liquidators on their statutory duties and decision-making process.

Our experience spans the full range of strategic, procedural, and contentious issues arising in formal insolvency proceedings, including the filing, recognition, and ranking of claims; asset preservation, recovery, and separation actions; debtor-in-possession and rescue financing; the assumption and rejection of executory contracts; avoidance and clawback actions; intercreditor disputes; and all related judicial proceedings, including appeals and constitutional amparo proceedings.

Today’s restructurings often span multiple jurisdictions. Working closely with leading international counsel we develop coordinated strategies for parallel proceedings, including U.S. Chapter 11 cases, Chapter 15 recognition proceedings, UK schemes of arrangement, and related cross-border insolvency and enforcement actions.

By combining finance, restructuring, and litigation expertise within a single team, we help our clients protect and maximize the value of their investments and businesses, regardless of the jurisdictions involved or the specific needs at hand.
