Alexandra Sibaja advises Mexican and international clients on complex, multijurisdictional corporate matters, with particular depth in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, corporate restructurings, and strategic transactions that require coordination across legal systems and regulatory regimes. Her practice spans public and private acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, dissolutions, and liquidations — frequently involving parallel workstreams in multiple countries — as well as the design and implementation of cross-border corporate governance frameworks and organizational strategies tailored to each client's commercial objectives.

Trusted by multinational corporations, private enterprises, and governmental entities, Alexandra structures, negotiates, and closes sophisticated transactions across borders — routinely navigating competing regulatory frameworks and foreign investment restrictions to keep deals on track. Her cross-border capabilities include architecting deal structures that reconcile divergent legal requirements while containing risk and driving long-term corporate value. From strategic origination and due diligence through signing, closing, and post-merger integration, Alexandra brings transactions to completion.

Beyond M&A and corporate restructuring, Alexandra has structured and closed high-profile, cross-border financing transactions for private companies and governmental entities in Mexico — structuring, negotiating, and documenting syndicated loans and credit facilities with international lender syndicates, as well as competitive public bids that have supported the development of critical national infrastructure.

Alexandra has advised on landmark transactions in oil and gas, manufacturing, aerospace, agribusiness, consumer goods, and energy — sectors defined by multijurisdictional regulatory oversight, cross-border supply chains, and capital-intensive operations that demand counsel who can navigate international legal complexity while maintaining focus on the commercial objective.
