About

The legal team at the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) contains experts in public policy and international law, helping the state-owned utility on its mission to generate, transmit, distribute and market power to approximately 26.9 million customers, representing nearly 80 million inhabitants. Considering CFE’s position as the dominant electricity company in Mexico and the country’s second most powerful state-owned company, the legal team has a large scope of responsibility to contend with. The legal department serves as a source of value, supporting the company’s development of new products and network coverage that sees it add roughly one million new customers a year. Lately CFE has been involved in a number of business transactions involving the expansion of thermoelectric, hydroelectric, coal-fired, geothermal, electric and nuclear power stations. Supporting operations as diverse and important as CFE’s means that the legal team has an unparalleled knowledge of the market, and are respected throughout Mexico as one of the strongest teams in the country, especially when it comes to environmental policy and legislation.
