Mexico > Energy and natural resources
Holland & Knight further bolstered its stellar energy department with the hire of former Sánchez Devanny practice co-head Gerardo Prado Hernández to its Monterrey office in April 2023. The move was part of a wider incorporation of 13 lawyers to the firm’s Monterrey office, which it inherited from a 2021 merger with Thompson & Knight, consolidating itself as a destination office for the automotive, retail, pharmaceutical and maquila industries. Prado Hernández is an experienced advisor to local and international clients on renewable energy matters and general regulatory compliance, as well as corporate and M&A for companies in the energy sector. He joins a department headed by the trio of Carlos Ochoa, who is well-versed in public bids and contracts, regulatory matters, and project financing across the energy sphere;Claudio Rodríguez Galán, an advisor to international energy, construction, and infrastructure companies doing business in Mexico and Latin America; and Monterrey-based Gabriel Ruiz who is especially experienced in the oil and gas sector. Rodolfo Rueda is a key contact for regulatory issues, while Alejandro Sánchez Mújica is frequently involved in teams of counsel on the M&A and financing side of the practice. Senior counsel Regina Legorreta stands out among the department’s pool of non-partner lawyers and has strong experience assisting clients with the energy reforms of the López Obrador administration. Since publication, Rodríguez has left the firm for DWF – effective as of February 2024.
