Greenberg Traurig, S.C. remains one of the best choices for contentious competition law matters in Mexico, excelling in litigation and investigations across a diverse range of industries. Clients appreciate the wide-ranging experience of the team, with practice head Miguel Flores Bernés (international economic law, competition and telecoms) drawing on his time working at Cofece to provide a 'comprehensive and complete vision of what “the other side” thinks'. Fellow practice co-head Victor Manuel Frías focuses on corporate M&A, competition and antitrust, and technology law. Away from its stellar contentious offering the practice is equally robust when it comes to competition advisory and merger control filings, recently acting on merger issues in the retail, agribusiness, hospitality and private equity sectors. Three key associates provide primary support: Abel Rivera Pedroza, who regularly represents clients before Cofece and the Federal Telecommunications Institute; Rocío Olea Salgado, who has strength in competition-related compliance matters; and Valery García Zavala, who has a broad antitrust practice, both contentious and non-contentious.
