Rene Hinojosa is the Principal of Hiro Law. He has spent more than fifteen years advising on corporate transactions across the US-Mexico corridor, with a practice centered on cross-border M&A, investments and joint ventures, nearshoring expansions, corporate governance, and special situations. He represents buyers and sellers, investors and operators, and management teams where deal certainty, cross-border coordination, and stakeholder alignment drive the outcome.
Rene's practice spans the full lifecycle of cross-border transactions, from entity structuring and foreign investment compliance through negotiation, execution, and post-closing integration. He regularly advises Mexican founders, family offices, and fund sponsors on acquisitions and divestitures of US companies, joint ventures with US partners, and IMMEX and nearshoring structures for companies establishing or expanding manufacturing operations in Mexico. On the US side, he counsels companies with Mexican subsidiaries on governance frameworks, authority matrices, and transaction execution across jurisdictions. His work frequently involves coordinating multi-jurisdiction tax workstreams, managing FCPA and regulatory risk, and structuring deal protections for compressed timelines and complex stakeholder dynamics.
Rene received his law degree from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, a Certificate in Management from the Kellogg School of Management, and his law degree from Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM). He is licensed to practice in Mexico, Texas, and California. He is fluent in English and Spanish and advises across both legal systems.
