Administrative and regulatory counsel in Mexico
Doing business in Mexico means dealing with federal, state and municipal authorities for permits, registrations, concessions, inspections and sanctions. We help U.S. and foreign-owned companies obtain the authorizations they need, stay compliant, and defend themselves when an authority acts against them.

- Antitrust and competition: merger notifications, investigations and compliance before Mexico’s federal competition authority
- Environmental: environmental impact authorizations, operating licenses, inspections and PROFEPA proceedings
- Intellectual property: trademark and patent filings, license registrations and enforcement actions before IMPI
- Franchise law: franchise disclosure documents (COD), franchise agreements and registration of licenses in Mexico
- Energy: permits, authorizations and compliance before federal energy authorities
- Water rights: CONAGUA concessions, transfers and compliance for industrial and agricultural water use
