Appreciated for its 'local and global expertise', Baker McKenzie Abogados, S.C.'s energy and natural resources practice is one of the broadest in the Mexican market, representing stakeholders in projects across both oil-and-gas and renewable energy. It is as adept in major projects as it is in smaller, innovative undertakings, with the practice’s client base featuring owners and sponsors from around the world. Advice includes project development at every stage, regulatory compliance and operations; more recently the team has assisted clients with carbon offset matters. Benjamín Torres-Barrón heads the department and is also chair of the firm’s regional energy, mining and infrastructure group for Latin America. Marco Nieto-Vazquez has experience advising the private sector, the Mexican public sector, and international energy-related organisations; while the ‘deep expertise' of Daniel Sánchez is brought to bear in advice to developers and lenders on project design, implementation, collateralisation and development. Senior associate Carlos Maass-Porras 'always delivers' according to one client; with further support provided by associate Pamela Lemus and legal consultant Yuriria Mascott.
