'A firm that understands and knows how to deal with highly complex and technical matters', Martens Abogados, S.C. makes for a robust choice of litigation counsel, particularly in cases involving Mexico’s most strictly regulated industries. Mexico's energy sector, which has been the source of a constant flow of mandates in recent years - not least for administrative litigation, is the standout strength of the firm’s contentious offering, with clients including top international and domestic companies. Finance and environmental law matters are also areas in which the team excels. 'Extraordinary lawyer' Federico Martens, an administrative and constitutional litigation specialist, co-leads the group with younger partner Luis Gerardo Gonzalez, who also handles contentious administrative matters but has a greater focus on commercial disputes, and also handles civil and constitutional proceedings. At associate level, both Rodrigo Iraola Leonel de Cervantes and Daniel Cherem Zaga also focus on civil and commercial litigation.
