Nader, Hayaux & Goebel (NHG) acted as Mexican counsel to Platinum Equity in its USD 375 million acquisition of Owens & Minor’s Products & Healthcare Services business. The transaction involved complex cross-border elements requiring coordination between multiple jurisdictions.

• Coordinated cross-border integration efforts to align Mexican regulatory, environmental, and labor requirements with the overall global transaction structure.

• Developed a regulatory and environmental strategy to address key local permitting issues related to the target’s manufacturing operations in Mexico, ensuring full compliance at closing.

• Designed a labor transition framework under Mexican law to facilitate the transfer of employees while minimizing post-closing exposure for the buyer.

• Collaborated with specialized antitrust counsel on merger control analysis, evaluating potential filing requirements before Mexico’s competition authorities and ensuring proactive compliance with local competition laws.
