Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised Abraaj Mexico Advisers, S.C. (currently Colony Mexico Advisers, S.C.) on its acquisition by Colony Capital, Inc.

Abraaj Mexico Advisors, S.C. (currently Colony Mexico Advisers, S.C.) is the manager of the irrevocable issuance trust of capital development certificates (structured instruments specially tailored to allow pension funds to invest in private equity projects Certificados de Capital de Desarrollo or CKDs).
