BIOGRAPHY
Ramón Bravo is an accomplished corporate and finance attorney with over 30 years of experience in finance, banking, and legal services. For the past year, he has been a Partner at SMPS Legal, a boutique law firm providing cutting-edge legal services to address the needs of today’s leading corporations in the Latin American Region. His key responsibilities involve overseeing the corporate and financial practices of the firm, M&A, transactional, banking, capital markets, acquisitions, JVs, and risk capital. Ramón's area of expertise is M&A, finance, and government procurement contracts. He also speaks fluent English and Spanish. Ramón graduated with a Master's in Finance from University of Cambridge in 1988, and earned a Law Degree, graduating summa cum laude, at Universidad Iberoamericana. He is a member of the International Bar Association and the Mexican Bar Association. Originally, Ramón decided during high school to go into law school and University of Cambridge was his first choice. He began his career in 1984, when he joined Barrera, Siqueiros y Torres Landa, S.C. (now Hogan Lovells BSTL) where he worked for almost 10 years and where he later returned as partner. Following his initial stint with Hogan Lovells, Ramón joined GE Mexico as General Counsel, where he oversaw the development and implementation of the process for requesting and obtaining authorizations to create a Financial Group for GE Capital, as well as a wide variety of financing operations, including secured and structured loans, leasing and financial factoring and restructuring processes. The key to his success is focus and having dedicated 100% of his professional life into the legal field. Indeed, he has been practicing law since 1986 and has been in private practice his whole life. Going forward, Ramón wants to grow the practice out and double the number of their attorneys over the next few years. He is keen to network with other accomplished members to exchange ideas and expertise. One highlight of his career thus far has been his focus on M&A and has overseen a number of very important transactions. When he's not working, Ramón enjoys participating in triathlons and traveling to do Iron Man competitions.
