About Alonso Rivera Gaxiola Alonso Rivera Gaxiola is a Mexican attorney with more than 20 years of experience. He is a specialist

in civil, commercial, corporate and administrative litigation, in bankruptcy proceedings, in national and international financial restructuring, as well as in national and international commercial arbitration. He is founder and directing partner of Rivera Gaxiola, Carrasco y Barrera, S.C.

Throughout his career, Alonso has faced the most complex cases with tremendous challenges and superb success.

Alonso focuses his practice on bankruptcy and financial restructuring, as well as on disputes between shareholders. Given the complexity and sophistication of international commerce, relations and transactions, financial restructures regularly involve more than one judicial system and culture. This implies that Alonso must exercise great understanding and abilities, as well as a great deal of creativity.

When dealing with shareholder disputes, Alonso’s greatest challenge is to avoid a negative effect on the company’s operations and business while the shareholders resolve their differences and the courts adjudicate claims.

The cases Alonso takes on regularly require complex strategies focused on solutions that meet his clients’ goals and objectives.
