Greenberg Traurig, S.C. is a destination firm for contentious antitrust issues, with strong expertise in litigation and administrative proceedings, including representation in illegal merger allegations and Article 94 investigations, and fine revocation for cartel conduct. The competition group has obtained resolutions before both specialised federal courts and the Supreme Court, and also excels in advisory and transactional work, boasting a strong track record in pre-merger filing approvals. Practice co-heads Victor Manuel Frías Garcés and Miguel Flores Bernés have vast expertise in the field. Bernés’ previous experience as a commissioner with COFECE gives him an edge in developing defence strategies to represent clients before specialised competition courts; while Frías Garcés has handled numerous internal investigations regarding anti-corruption and data privacy issues, and also - as a leading authority in corporate M&A - handles merger notifications. Promoted to shareholder in January 2025, Rocío Olea Salgado's practice is centred on competition and business law in the technology and e-commerce sectors. Primary support is provided by senior associate Valery García Zavala, whose antitrust knowledge stretches across the pharmaceutical, financial and telecoms industries. Former senior associate Abel Rivera Pedroza left the team in June 2024 to establish his own practice.
