‘In a regulated area like energy, it is essential that the firm that advises us provides complete security. W&C has supported us in all the additional areas we needed to establish ourselves. When we negotiated our energy supply contracts with other parties, the (positive) difference between the W&C lawyers and the rest of the attendees was notable.'
‘Francisco de Roseinweig (Partner) - his handling of regulation and the market, as well as his negotiation skills and general applied knowledge, make him a lawyer unlike any other. He is a truly excellent professional. José Daniel Franco (Associate) - his contribution to the regulation of the energy market in Mexico was a differentiator when deciding how and what to do with our generating plants.'
‘Juan Ruenes and Juan Carlos Llorens. I have had the opportunity to work with them for several years on various transactions. They have always stood out for their in-depth knowledge of transactions in the Mexican energy sector, with a broad sensitivity to the country's political and economic context. This has allowed transactions to flow more smoothly to the benefit of all parties. Their flexibility does not translate into inefficiency or negligence, as they maintain rigorous standards in the interests of their clients.'
