Having already built a significant international advisory network through a partnership with BTG Global Advisory ("BTG GA"), B.

We see considerable opportunity to serve U.S. companies and U.S. lawyers with situations in Mexico – and our growing Automotive Restructuring practice will also be key in this country.
