'A reference in the field of economic competition', SAI Derecho & Economía S.C has a robust offering across competition and antitrust matters that includes representation in complex contentious matters, as well as merger control for high-profile transactions. Its broad practice also covers investigations concerning potential monopolies, applications to the immunity program, and comprehensive regulatory advice. Veteran practitioner and a reference point in the market, Lucía Ojeda is accomplished at handling investigations carried out by the regulator, while also advising on domestic merger control proceedings. She co-leads the department with José Ángel Santiago, an expert litigator who is the go-to contact for disputes with Cofece. Luis Alberto Ibarra Pardo joined the firm as a partner in September 2023, from an in-house role; while Ximena Ángeles rejoined as a senior associate level after some 15 years away from the firm. Felipe García Cuevas, Ernesto Álvarez Castillo and Bruno Puerto Salazar are further key senior associate contacts.
