Galicia Abogados S.C. offers a well-established dispute resolution practice integrated with its top-tier regulatory and transactional teams that are particularly renowned for their stellar energy sector expertise. The firm operates through two dedicated practices—administrative litigation and civil & commercial litigation—providing comprehensive coverage across all non-arbitral contentious proceedings. Led by Daniel Amézquita, the administrative litigation team regularly represents clients before Mexico’s top judicial bodies and specialised administrative tribunals, focusing on constitutional and regulatory challenges through amparo lawsuits, nullity claims, and constitutional actions, across key sectors such as energy, telecoms and environmental law. Promoted to counsel in 2025, Iván Valdespino additionally supports administrative proceedings. In parallel, the civil & commercial litigation team, co-led by Rodrigo Zamora and Cecilia Azar, oversees high-value disputes within their respective areas of expertise, notably banking and finance, as well as energy and infrastructure. Associate support is strong across both departments, with José Antonio Casas being an asset on domestic and international commercial disputes, and Gilda Velázquez assisting in the design of defence strategies for administrative proceedings.
