Hogan Lovells

The expertise of the 'highly prepared and informed' team at Hogan Lovells takes in environmental and regulatory compliance, contaminated sites, waste and water management, and environmental assessments related to infrastructure projects. The group also regularly represents clients in the food, mining, energy and construction segments in environmental and administrative litigation before Mexican regulatory and environmental agencies. A recent mandate of note saw the team represent ACH Foods in an ongoing administrative proceeding initiated by ASEA, which had resulted in the temporary closure of its facilities in Cuitláhuac, Veracruz. The practice is led by the 'results-oriented' Mauricio Llamas, who specialises in environmental and health and safety law, and has notable expertise in waste management and recycling, contaminated site liability, site abandonment procedures and the implementation of sustainable energy and infrastructure projects. Senior associate Mauricio Villegas is also noted; he handles a broad range of regulatory matters, with an emphasis on environmental, health, and occupational safety advice, as well as litigation for domestic and international clients with operations in Mexico.
