Dentons Cardenas & Cardenas’ TMT practice strikes the right note with clients for its ability to provide ‘comprehensive reviews that help internal teams make important decisions’. The department is closely aligned with the firm’s IP and competition offerings, and focuses on regulatory compliance, data protection, and administrative law litigation — it also stands out for its emphasis on social media-related matters. The department is co-led by regulatory duo Juanita Acosta and Luz Helena Adarve, both of whom specialise in IP, technology, privacy and cybersecurity. The team additionally includes experienced associate Rocío Ruíz, who handles data and consumer protection. Former department co-head Mónica Bonnett left in July 2025.
