Since its inception in 1994 and parallel to the blossoming of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), CCN has represented multiple international and domestic lenders, borrowers, and related actors in a wide array of finance projects and secured transactions. Through its locations in Texas and throughout strategic cities in Mexico, and with a team comprised of experienced U.S. and Mexico licensed attorneys, the firm is uniquely positioned to assist clients in structuring and implementing cross-border banking and finance transactions.
