Galicia Abogados S.C.

Highlighted by one client as ‘the best environmental law team in Mexico’, the group at Galicia Abogados S.C. is equipped to handle the gamut of matters, including environmental due diligence for corporate transactions, regulatory matters and litigation. Advisory mandates that include water and wastewater, contaminated sites, waste management and carbon credits constitute an additional pillar of the practice. Recent months have seen the team act on high-profile matters that include providing regulatory advice to Green Tank; providing environmental counsel to New Fortress Energy; and advising Cementos Moctezuma on water-related issues. The practice is jointly directed by Mariana Herrero, who has broad advisory experience and a particular specialism in water rights and the design of strategies to ensure compliance with wastewater regulations; and Carlos Escoto, who majors on the environmental aspects of M&A and financing projects. Key names to note at associate level include Lucía Manzo and Lourdes Lozano, who support the partners on the regulatory and environmental aspects of energy and infrastructure projects. Since publication, Manzo has been raised to the partnership - effective as of January 2025.
