Navigating the New M&A Landscape: Opportunities, Risks and Strategic Growth in Mexico

Latin America Practice Group Co-Chair Roberto Pupo and Monterrey-based corporate attorney Gerardo Prado Hernández will participate in the Legal 500's 2026 GC Summit in Mexico City. As Mexico enters a defining moment for business and legal leadership, one marked by accelerated investment and nearshoring, novel infrastructure projects and sophisticated cross-border disputes, companies are increasingly relying on general counsel for strategic guidance and decision-making. This program, sponsored by Holland & Knight, will feature discussions about the realities facing Mexico's business sector and how lawyers can help their clients work through it. Gerardo will moderate a panel featuring Roberto that will focus on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amid this emerging landscape. Panelists will explore the trends driving deal activity in Mexico, including current market dynamics, cross-border investment, regulatory developments, due diligence challenges, transaction structuring and post-acquisition integration. They will also describe how to ensure legal and commercial voices align to manage risk, negotiate and deliver value throughout the deal life cycle, ultimately leading to a successful transaction.
