Private Capital

Structuring value across the investment cycle.

Ritch Mueller’s Private Capital practice offers end-to-end legal counsel to financial sponsors, private equity firms, investment, and co-investors throughout the investment lifecycle. From fund formation and structuring to portfolio acquisitions, value creation, and exits, our team combines deep knowledge of the Mexican market with cross-border transaction experience to design investment solutions that enhance returns and manage risk. We advise both traditional sponsors and alternative investors—including family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and private credit vehicles—on leveraged buyouts, growth equity, capital redeployments, and recapitalizations.

Supported by specialists in financing, regulatory compliance, and tax planning, we structure investment vehicles and develop efficient strategies for fundraising, fund governance, co-investments, and liquidity events. Our practical, business-driven approach covers negotiation of key fund documents, design of management incentive plans, and coordination of bank financings, debt issuances, and hybrid instruments. With global insight and personalized service, Ritch Mueller is the trusted partner for sponsors and fund managers seeking to capitalize on opportunities in dynamic markets.
