Sainz Abogados

With the April 2024 addition of Diana Pineda from the former Pérez-Llorca, Sainz Abogados further boosted a burgeoning energy department that is best regarded for its advice on contract negotiations with state-entities Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) in the oil-and-gas sector, and Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) in the power sector. The team also assists clients with the development and construction of natural gas, power, fuels and oil projects, as well as structuring investment and development vehicles for such projects. Pineda joins a department that is co-led by Francisco Valdés, who acts for national and foreign clients in all types of regulatory affairs and in the development of infrastructure projects; and Daniel Díaz, a dispute resolution specialist with notable experience in the energy sector and recent activity in conflicts with the Mexican state. Adrián Villagómez is also a disputes expert well versed in energy sector matters; while at associate level, Mario Rodríguez, Daniel Pardo and Santiago Hernández are the contacts to note.
