Private Equity

Our team advises private equity sponsors, institutional investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, portfolio companies and management teams across the full lifecycle of private equity investment in Mexico, from fund formation and capital raising through platform acquisitions, bolt-on transactions, leveraged buyouts, growth equity investments and joint ventures, to portfolio governance and management, restructurings and eventual exits by way of strategic sale, secondary transaction or initial public offering.

Mexico’s private equity market has undergone a profound transformation over the past decade. The deepening participation of institutional investors, driven by AFOREs, development finance institutions and international capital allocators, the maturation of CERPI, CKD and FIBRA structures as vehicles for domestic capital deployment, and the accelerating nearshoring trend reshaping North American supply chains have combined to create an investment environment of growing scale, sophistication and strategic importance. The transactions that define this market demand advisors who understand not only the mechanics of private equity, the economics of fund structures, the governance frameworks that protect investors and the exit pathways that generate returns, but also the regulatory, tax and commercial landscape in which those investments operate, and the judgment required to navigate the competing interests of sponsors, co-investors, management teams and lenders in complex, multi-party transactions.

Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez has built what is widely recognized as Mexico’s leading private equity practice. Ranked first in the Mexican market by transaction volume and value in Transactional Track Record (TTR) league tables and named by Latin Lawyer as an Elite Firm whose private equity offering is “recognized for its precise and reputable advice to key players in the private equity space,” our team has played a central role in the development and consolidation of Mexico’s institutional private equity market. Over that same period, the Firm has advised on the majority of CERPI, CKD and FIBRA offerings in the country, a track record that reflects both the depth of our capital markets expertise and the sustained confidence that sponsors and institutional investors place in our ability to execute the most complex capital-raising and investment structures in the market.
