• Successful multidisciplinary negotiations:

DOMESTIC:

- Conflicts between stakeholders (concession holders, investors) and the State (energy, transport, communications, human rights, etc.).

- Federal Budget 1996-2018.

- Several law creation and amendment processes.

- PEMEX and CFE labour liabilities.

- Several conflicts between federation and local governments, etc.

​

INTERNATIONAL: 

- USMCA (NAFTA 2.0), EUMFTA and CPTPP specifically  SOE’s, anticorruption, energy and public procurement.

- Delegates and representatives of the Mexican government before forums at the OECD, World Bank, IMF, IMBD.

​

• Solving conflicts and favourable resolutions:

- We have intervened to solve transactional gridlocks of public-private nature, avoiding litigation in most cases (e.g. PPP Queretaro-Irapuato Highway).

- We had an 87% success rate in tax and public litigation, on a 97 thousand trials portfolio (2017).

- We successfully defended before courts structural reforms over the past 25 years (e.g. liquidation of SOE’s Luz y Fuerza del Centro and BANRURAL, tax and social security reforms).

- We obtained favourable resolutions in trials of major relevance for public finances, such as the President’s veto of the 2004 Federal Budget, public debt executive powers, legal nature of states’ participation in federal revenues, transfers and debt.

 

• Effective management of auditing observations:

- Management of observations and conclusions reached in internal and external auditing, (e.g. National Infrastructure Fund, public entities liquidation and several financial operations).

​

• Optimal crisis management:

- Immediate and effective attention to situations that require strategy beyond the legal arena, such as media management and commercial or political strategies.

​

• Successful implementation of public-private reforms, policies and projects:

We have profound knowledge of the national legal framework applicable to the Mexican economic sphere. We had direct participation in the design, drafting, negotiation and implementation of said framework over the past 25 years:

​

- Enhancement of private sector opportunities: energy, communications, transportation, Infrastructure, PPP’s, science, technology and innovation projects , FINTECH, corporation’s law, Special Economic Zones, banking and stock market.

- Improvement of government performance: fiscal discipline; result based budget, taxes, accounting, treasury, public debt (federal and local); revenue distribution and coordination; auditing accountability and anticorruption.

​

• Creation and design of new public commercial entities and institutions:

- Corporate Governance design (e.g. PEMEX, CFE and development banking institutions).

- Mexican Petroleum Fund, National Infrastructure Fund (FONADIN), National Accounting Standardization Counsel (CONAC), National Evaluation Counsel (CONEVAL), Anticorruption Entity (SESNA), among others.
