Since 1997 we have advised Mexican and foreign clients in matters of economic competition law, including multinationals from Canada, Europe, and the United States of America.
The legal advice to our clients has been focused on complex cases of monopolistic practices involving comparative law matters from the very outset.
Even relatively standard merger clearance processes, in which we have participated, have been hallmarked, among others, by the magnitude of acquisitions or the complexity of cross-border corporate structures, e.g. the acquisition of a banking institution for $12.5 billion U.S. dollars and the involvement of a high number of entities controlled by an administrator of funds in the U.S., respectively.
The evolution of economic competition law in Mexico has allowed us to advise clients in cases where the judicial criteria required for mandatory resolutions of the Supreme Court of Justice have been successfully reiterated.
Our experience in economic competition law matters also encompasses the legal advice to commissioners of the former Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECO) and other entities of the Mexican federal government in connection with amendments to the applicable law and specific provisions thereof, as well as the contribution in several public consultation processes of regulations and guides of COFECO and the current competition agency.
As of 2016 we have been invited as non-governmental advisors of the International Competition Network (ICN), an organization of more than 100 competition agencies around the globe, and we participate in its cartels working group.
Our expertise in this field additionally stems from a degree of Master of Laws in England and the tenure as invited professor for 20 years in one of the most prestigious law schools of the country.
