More from the new partner
His practice covers the entire regulatory cycle: from day-to-day advice in regulated markets and notification of complex mergers across all industries, to defending clients in investigations of monopolistic practices and barriers to competition, as well as the administrative and constitutional litigation that these matters may trigger. He has particular expertise in highly regulated sectors, such as telecommunications, financial services, energy, and digital markets, representing clients before the National Antitrust Commission (CNA), sector regulators, and specialized courts for economic competition, broadcasting, and telecommunications.
The new partner began his career as a legal intern in the office of Justice José Ramón Cossío Díaz at the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. He practiced at several prestigious law firms and later gained international experience as an associate at Analysis Group in New York and Boston, where he specialized in the economic analysis of competition. He holds a law degree from the Escuela Libre de Derecho, a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Columbia Law School, and is recognized in competition law by Chambers and Partners.
