Post-pandemic, Mexico has faced numerous challenges for economic growth, and with government investment in projects lacking depth and volume. But the energy crisis and ERG concerns from corporates has provided new opportunities for the country’s deep bench of legal advisers. Market commentators point to expected upticks in litigation and the M&A sector. The Legal 500 is delighted to recognise the leading legal players from private practice and in-house who have contributed to the Mexican and global market.

These awards are determined based on The Legal 500’s market-leading independent research for the annual directory. Winners are selected by a judging team spearheaded by The Legal 500 Latin America editor Tim Girven, head of in-house research Joe Boswell and The Legal 500 Publishing Director David Burgess, and over 20 in-house and freelance researchers with in-depth knowledge of their practice areas, the same who are responsible for the annual production of the authoritative The Legal 500 guide, using the same evidence base. Some practice areas have stand-alone awards and others are thematic groupings of directory practice areas.
