A landmark project in which Nader, Hayaux & Goebel participated was recently commended in the 2017 Financial Times’ Innovative Lawyers rankings in under the category ‘Accessing New Markets and Capital’.  A team lead by Michell Nader, Gunter Schwandt and Adalberto Valadez assisted investment vehicle CKD IM, as spsonsor, in the creation, registration and approval by the the Mexican securities regulator of an innovative Fibra E securities programme, worth 50bn pesos ($2.6bn), that will allow companies to use tax-efficient structured financing to fund purchases of energy and infrastructure assets.

“This unprecedented matter will change the nature of the Fibra E market which had been primarily conceived as a monetization vehicle to allow new Fibras E to act as growth vehicles. This will give CKDIM an important advantage in the acquisition of assets in the future and the ability to harness business opportunities quickly and efficiently.” -Michell Nader, Partner-
