With a team ‘deeply connected in the market and willing to support clients by all necessary means’, Hogan Lovells stands out for its extensive regulatory expertise across the oil-and-gas and electricity industries. The firm is also active in the transactional and dispute resolution arena, advising a range of power generators on mandates spanning amparo trials, M&A, contractual reviews and procurement proceedings. The group is led by a highly capable trio of practitioners: Carlos Ramos is dedicated to providing transactional advice to domestic and international oil companies and has recently expanded his practice into the nuclear energy segment; Miguel Ángel Mateo Simón is sought after across the full breadth of the energy sector, including water infrastructure projects, due to his expertise in M&A and regulatory procedures; and Juan Francisco Torres Landa has longstanding corporate expertise as lead counsel on complex power projects. Promoted to Counsel in January 2025, Perla Díaz Taracena remains the name to note regarding oil-and-gas regulation. Adriana Pavón is active in licensing and handles registration procedures before governmental authorities, whilst senior associate Mauricio Fuchs is well-regarded for his transactional and regulatory knowledge in oil and power generation.
