Chambers Global Practice Guide - Private Equity 2025

Our Private Equity team, consisting of our partners Gabriel Robles, Héctor Cárdenas and Eric Silberstein, and associate Eduardo Aiza, contributed to the Mexico chapter of the Chambers Global Guide: Private Equity 2025.

In the Law & Practice section, our experts provide a detailed overview of private equity and M&A activity in Mexico, highlighting the impact of nearshoring, recent regulatory reforms, and key considerations for due diligence, deal structures, and exit strategies.

The Trends & Developments section contains an analysis of the key regulatory developments that will transform Mexico’s private equity market, including:

1. Judicial reform: popular election of judges and justices, reduction of the Supreme Court, and creation of a Judicial Discipline Tribunal, introducing uncertainty in dispute resolution and encouraging greater reliance on arbitration.

2. New National Antitrust Commission (CNA): replacement of COFECE with expanded investigative powers, lower merger notification thresholds, and stricter sanctions.

3. Anti-money laundering reforms: lowering the beneficial ownership threshold from 50% to 25%, formal inclusion of politically exposed persons, and new obligations for automated monitoring systems.

4. Nearshoring and USMCA dynamics: growing interest from foreign investors in advanced manufacturing, automotive, electronics, and logistics to strengthen North American supply chains.

5. Financing and capital markets: rise of co-investment structures and greater flexibility in debt and equity issuances, creating new opportunities for fund exit strategies.

6. Macroeconomic and public policy challenges: exchange rate volatility, the upcoming USMCA renegotiation, and greater state involvement in strategic sectors such as energy and infrastructure.
