Counsel of choice to many leading international and domestic companies in the oil-and-gas segment, MCM Abogados stands out for its ‘extensive technical knowledge, both at the operational and regulatory level.’ The energy boutique is equally adept at developing and financing exploration projects as it is at providing routine counsel to oil producers and operators on regulatory, antitrust, dispute resolution and procurement matters. A ’renowned attorney in the hydrocarbon sector’, Manuel Cervantes is well known for his work implementing complex energy project structures. He leads the team alongside Mariana Hernández, the head of midstream and downstream transactions; and Jorge Cabeza, who advises on the full range of transactional and regulatory issues, as well as catastrophic and force majeure events. Senior associate Francisco Valencia provides key support, particularly regarding contentious mandates.
