Our practice is centered on representing companies with business interests in Mexico, including those in the energy, automotive and agribusiness sectors, specifically with respect to corporate, business formation, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, real estate, foreign investment and labor relations issues.
Energy and Infraestructure
Our attorneys also have worked on numerous acquisitions and divestitures, for all types of energy projects, including electric generation, transmission, and distribution assets and companies. In recent years, a primary area of focus has been renewable energy projects, many of which have been structured to take advantage of tax credits, grants and other governmental incentives designed to spur investment in renewable energy in Mexico.
