Norton Rose Fulbright

Leveraging the experience of many of its practitioners' previous experience at Pemex and the Mexican Ministry of Energy, the energy and natural resources department at Norton Rose Fulbright is a strong choice across hydrocarbons matters and one of the heavyweight transactional firms in the space. The practice also undertakes project development matters, as well as reaching in renewables as well as traditional oil-and-gas. In Mexico City, César Fernández Gomez and Hernán González are the lead contacts and they coordinate the group with New York based partner Raquel Bierswinsky, who is dual qualified in the US and Mexico. From a considerable pool of non-partner lawyers, Itzell Méndez (promoted to counsel in March 2024) and associate Angélica Álvarez receive client praise for their 'great capacity and knowledge'; senior associate José Luis Romo assists with oil and gas upstream and midstream projects, energy regulation and corporate transactions.
