Valdés Abascal Abogados, S.C.

The competition and antitrust practice at Valdés Abascal Abogados, S.C. is praised for its ‘high level of specialisation, experience, and knowledge of diverse sectors’. Complementing its robust advisory offering, the firm is highly active in antitrust investigations and litigation, with expertise spanning administrative and judicial proceedings before competition authorities, federal courts and the Supreme Court. The group is particularly experienced in advising clients acting as cooperating third parties in market-wide investigations undertaken by COFECE across a range of industries. Founder Rafael Valdés Abascal draws on his experience at the commission to co-lead the team on both advisory and contentious competition issues; he frequently works alongside Enrique de la Peña, who focuses on merger control procedures and the defence of economic agents in cartel and dominance investigations before the federal courts. The pair are supported by associates Juan Pablo Bueno Zarazúa and Diana Alejandra Rangel Pantoja.
