A heavyweight of the Mexican competition law market, Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. regularly acts as lead counsel to multinationals needing advice in this area, supporting clients in investigations by Cofece, as well as having a substantial share of the merger control filing market. The department’s slate of work covers the spectrum of matters, from pre-merger filings, compliance and administrative procedures, to investigations, amparo cases, jurisdictional conflicts and leniency applications.
