Lawyer Rankings
Mexico > Energy and natural resources
The Mexico City office of Greenberg Traurig, S.C. houses an energy and natural resources department whose expertise tales in the transactional, regulatory and contentious aspects of the sector. Electricity production (both renewable and conventional), crude oil, natural gas and LNG, are all areas representated on the practice group’s client list, which has a healthy mix of project owners and sponsors, both domestic and international. Co-leader of the department Erick Hernández Gallego impresses clients with his ‘technical and practical knowledge‘ and is lead advisor on transactional and financing matters in both the hydrocarbons and power generation sectors. Alongside him, of counsel Pedro Reséndez Bocanegra is an energy sector expert who primarily assists with regulatory matters and government relations in the area. The practice also frequently looks to tax and amparo trial lawyer Joselino Morales for matters in those areas; he is well versed in representing clients before Mexican federal and state courts. Senior associate Rodrigo Vázquez del Mercado-Rivera‘s practice has an emphasis on oil, gas and electricity, as well as government procurement and M&A; while the practice of fellow senior Luis Jorge Akle also demonstrates a strong energy law bent. Hugo Hernández and Perla Salgado support on tax-related issues, and Miguel Saiz adds depth on litigation.
