Layda Cárcamo Sabido

Layda Cárcamo Sabido is a partner at Calvo Nicolau y Márquez Cristerna (CNMC), a Mexico-based firm specialising in fiscal matters that has been named Corporate Tax Law Firm of the Year in Mexico at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The recognition reflects the firm's standing as an adviser that combines accounting, finance and law to guide companies through the complexities of Mexican and international taxation, and Ms. Cárcamo Sabido's own long-established reputation in the field.

Founded in 2010, CNMC was built around the conviction that fiscal problems are best solved where accounting expertise and legal judgement meet. The firm offers integral solutions that pair technical tax knowledge with strategic planning aligned to each client's objectives, placing particular emphasis on risk mitigation and on personal attention in which clients work directly with the partners. As a member of DFK International, a global network present in more than 90 countries with over 400 offices, CNMC is able to draw on international collaboration when advising on cross-border matters, an increasingly important capability for Mexican businesses and inbound investors alike.

Ms. Cárcamo Sabido brings more than three decades of consulting experience to that model. She is a Certified Public Accountant, having qualified through ITAM, and holds a Master's degree in Business Law from the Universidad Panamericana, a combination of credentials that mirrors the firm's own blend of disciplines. She is also certified in the prevention of money laundering by Mexico's banking regulatory commission, reflecting the compliance dimension that now runs through so much corporate tax work.

Her areas of specialisation are closely matched to the corporate tax mandate for which the firm has been honoured. They include patrimonial law, mergers and acquisitions, international taxation, and the interpretation of tax treaties designed to avoid double taxation. This expertise positions her to advise corporate groups on the structuring of transactions and holdings, on the tax consequences of reorganisations, and on the treaty questions that arise whenever Mexican operations intersect with foreign jurisdictions.

Alongside her practice, Ms. Cárcamo Sabido has been active in the wider tax community and in academic discussion of fiscal policy. She previously served as president of the Academia de Estudios Fiscales between 2013 and 2015, and has published academic work on subjects including fiscal consolidation and international tax conventions, contributing to professional debate in the areas where she practises.

The award to CNMC as Corporate Tax Law Firm of the Year in Mexico recognises a practice that has made the integration of legal and accounting advice its defining characteristic, and that offers clients partner-led attention supported by an international network. For corporate clients navigating Mexico's demanding tax environment, the firm's combination of technical depth, strategic focus and cross-border reach, embodied in senior practitioners such as Ms. Cárcamo Sabido, is central to the reputation the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 acknowledges.
