Galicia Abogados S.C.

Galicia Abogados S.C. has a longstanding reputation in Mexico’s oil and gas industry, as well as being a heavyweight when it comes to advising clients across the mining sector. It has established itself as a go-to destination for precedent setting matters in those areas, as well as being a reliable choice for day-to-day regulatory assistance and support to clients involved in major M&A. More recently, it has also handled matters in the country’s nascent renewable energy industry, both on the regulatory front and with regard to M&A. One of the elder statesmen of the Mexican energy industry, Carlos de María y Campos continues to lead counsel on significant matters, particularly project finance matters. The department has further strength on that front in the figures of Antonio Borja, whose recent caseload has included contentious matters against Pemex; and younger partner Ernesto Partida, who is already well versed in cross-border financing, as well as project development. For mining matters, Héctor Kuri is the lead contact and a regular in that sector’s most significant transactions. Francisco Fernández Cueto is a senior partner with standout experience in the financing of renewable energy, conventional generation and natural gas projects; while the ongoing development of the practice is reflected by the appointment to the partnership of Florent Patoret in December 2023. Eduardo García-Travesi is another up-and-coming partner to note, and at senior associate level, Luis Manuel Rosendo stands out.
