Mexico > Energy and natural resources
Praised for its ‘attention to detail and knowledge of regulations in Mexico‘, the energy practice at Hogan Lovells is one of the strongest choices for regulatory matters, licensing and permits throughout the sector. In oil and gas, the team continues to represent major project owners and investors on upstream, midstream and downstream activities; Equinor and Qatar Petroleum International being among those to instruct the team recently. A number of international energy companies also look to the team for advice on conventional and renewable power projects, with practice co-heads Carlos Ramos Miranda, Juan Francisco Torres Landa and Miguel Ángel Mateo Simón all leading counsel regarding high-end power projects. On the regulatory side the broad practice extends to mining, wherein senior associate Perla Díaz Taracena is the name to note. Further key contacts at senior associate level include transactional lawyer Mauricio Fuchs Tarlovsky; and the dual-qualified (Mexico / Venezuela) Víctor Barrientos, who has extensive experience in the oil, gas and petrochemicals arenas.
