The Firm was recognized for its representation of multiple Mexican development banks in two significant matters.

The Firm subsequently represented Banobras, NAFIN, and Bancomext (Mexican development banks) in connection with a $2.1 billion loan granted to a special purpose Mexican trust for the acquisition of collection rights generated by the Mexican governmental entity Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares.
