Lawyer Rankings

Mexico > Competition and antitrust

Great team and great leadership’ is the assessment of Gonzalez Calvillo’s competition and antitrust team by clients familiar with the practice, with group head Cristina Massa being singled out as ‘an extremely professional lawyer… with in-depth knowledge of economic competition’ matters; she can draw on relevant professional experience at both the Mexican antitrust commission and various other public sector posts. Massa primarily acts for major companies and investment funds in Mexico, particularly in the highly regulated sectors of telecoms, energy and financial services. More broadly, she and her team handle merger control procedures, the design and implementation of strategy, and the representation of clients in investigation proceedings before competition agencies. The merger-control side of the wider practice is led by counsel Patricio Martínez Osorio; he assists both domestic and multinational companies particularly as regards pre-merger filings in Mexico. Associate Daniel González Contreras is also an active member of the practice group. Since publication, Massa has left the firm – effective as of April 2024.
