As one of the foremost dispute resolution firms in Mexico, Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC has the requisite skills for contentious work in the antitrust arena, acting in a large share of the market’s investigations, as well as supporting clients in litigation. Film distribution, manufacturing, and social media are among the varied industries in which the firm has represented clients under scrutiny by COFECE, while finance clients frequently instruct the firm for merger control matters. Fernando Carreño is the practice head and one of Mexico’s go-to advisors for investigations by the competition authority. Further experience is provided by Sergio López, who draws on two decades' experience in the area, including working in a number of senior roles at the competition authority. Promoted to counsel in January 2024, Michel Llorens is one of the firm’s most active counsel for complex merger control matters. He joins fellow counsel César Martínez, who has amassed considerable experience acting for domestic and international clients.
