Mexico: Intellectual Property
The increasing cultural awareness of the importance of protecting intellectual property rights in Mexico over the last 10 years has lead to an astonishing level of growth in the volume of work in this practice area for trademark, patent and litigation lawyers. In this chapter we recognise 28 leading individuals.
Mexico: Management Labour & Employment
The local economic conditions have resulted in a varied diet for Mexican labour lawyers, with most firms seeing a mixture of M&A work and employment litigation. Moreover, with the unions’ party, the PRI, striving to win back power at the upcoming presidential elections, things look set to get even busier. We identify 20 exceptional lawyers.
Mexico: Mergers & Acquisitions
Our research reveals a trend towards fragmentation among law firms in the Mexican corporate bar, with a high number of partners setting up their own practices As US companies expand their presence in the country through trade and investment, Mexico is forecasted to experience four per cent growth for 2011-2012. However, a general slowdown is expected by the end of this year, so lawyers expect restructurings to continue providing the bread and butter work. This year we feature 45 lawyers in the chapter.
Mexico: Natural Resources
The Mexican energy sector is developing rapidly, with Pemex recently launching a new private contracting regime for mature oil fields. The past year has also seen increased activity in the waste disposal, water treatment and renewable energy sectors. We identify 20 lawyers at the forefront of this exciting market.
Mexico: Project Finance
As Mexico grapples with its declining oil reserves, a number of the lawyers we spoke to noted an increase in renewable energy sector projects. Wind projects have taken off in particular, with President Calderón pledging that Mexico will be producing 2,500 megawatts of wind energy by the time his term ends in 2012. In this sector we recognise 20 talented lawyers with the necessary complement of skills to handle these vast projects.
Mexico: Real Estate And Construction
Commercial real estate – particularly in the industrial sector – has grown dramatically in Mexico in recent years according to the lawyers we consulted, with several large high rise builds currently under construction in the country’s major cities. Further to this, the real estate sector was recognised as a key contributor to the year-on-year growth of the national services industry by Mexico’s Census and Geography Agency in its most recent report on economic activity. The following 28 professionals are the leading providers of legal counsel to clients in this rapidly expanding marketplace.
Mexico: Trade & Customs
With a series of anti-dumping cases over the past year, work in this sector shows no sign of slowing down and lawyers reported a definite upward trend in the number of trade remedy cases. In this growing sector we feature 13 of the country’s leading names.
