(Leading individuals)A ‘high level of specialisation in the oil and gas sector’ is the hallmark of MCM Abogados, a boutique firm with a 10-year history in the market and a broad array of clients representing the major players in Mexico’s oil and gas landscape. The firm is a strong choice for companies needing advice on the design, development and financing of projects, with the team also advising on day-to-day matters, from corporate and regulatory issues to antitrust and dispute resolution matters, among other areas. Manuel Cervantes is one of three practice heads and ‘is particularly distinguished by his extensive experience’. His fellow practice heads are Mariana Hernandez, whose work during the course of 2022 significantly developed the firm’s midstream and downstream hydrocarbon portfolios; and Jorge Cabeza, who is appreciated by clients for his ‘very deep and up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory and transactional aspects of the sector’. Associate Francisco Valencia provides key support – particularly as regards the upstream and downstream market segments.
