TIER 4 FIRM
Bello, Gallardo, Bonequi y García, S.C.‘s banking and finance department is recommended for having a ‘very professional team that knows the particularities of the Mexican financial system’, and known for it’s strong lending institution-side client roster (both local and international) particularly as regards regulatory mandates. Miguel Gallardo Guerra, who is praised for his regulatory expertise and for offering ‘high quality solutions’, co-heads the department together with the recently appointed Javier Pérez Moreno, who is experienced in fintech, banking, insurance, and health (among other sectors), and has of late been advising clients in matters related to cryptocurrencies. The practice endured the departure of former of counsel Adolfo Hegewisch at the end of 2021, but was reinforced -in turn- with the March-2022 arrival of Juan Manuel Sancho from González Calvillo, SC, whose expertise encompasses structured, project and acquisition finance, as well as restructuring.
