Gonzalez Calvillo, October 12th, 2023 .- We acted as legal counsel to Grupo Hunan – a high-end restaurant operator with over 30 locations in Mexico and the US – and its controlling shareholders, in a leveraged buyout (LBO) to acquire the position held in Grupo Hunan by Glisco – a leading growth equity and structured financing fund in Mexico with over 20 years in the industry.
The deal was particularly challenging given that the structure was negotiated at-length and required to conform different concepts in order for the transfer formalities under Spanish law to be consistent with a Mexican-law governed stock purchase agreement.
Finally, the transaction implied the negotiation and closing of highly complex documents.
Our partners, José Ignacio Rivero and Enrique Gonzalez led the team, supported by our associates: Jacinto Ávalos, Rodrigo Poumian, and Héctor Ferrari. Additionally, we had the assistance of law clerks Valeria Camacho and Sofía Ramírez.
