Mexico: Business Crime Defence
The federal government has introduced numerous anti-corruption measures in recent years, aimed at eliminating non-transparent practices and bribery. A major recent development was the decree initiative to establish a framework of sanctions to be used against companies engaging in irregular conduct during government contracting or international commercial transactions. For the four outstanding business crime defence lawyers we list below, these are busy and challenging times and the value of the services they can offer is at a premium.
Basham Ringe y Correa SC fields two lawyers in this section. Francisco Tiburcio is a “very well-known and respected” name who acts for national and international clients – particularly in the natural resources and industrial sectors – in IP, environmental and white-collar criminal matters. Alejandro Catalá Guerrero joined the firm in 2006 and
has quickly established himself as a “leading light” in its civil and criminal litigation team.
A founding member of Zinser Esponda y Gómez Mont SC, Alberto Zinser is “world class” and regularly acts for client before the International Criminal Court. Felipe Ibañez Mariel represents Bufete Zamora Pierce, where he is described as a “first-rate practitioner” in defending corporate and commercial clients against criminal charges.
