Clyde & Co

Offering direct support and deep local knowledge in Mexico City

Our practice in Mexico is located in Mexico City with a satellite presence also in Ciudad del Carmen. Our team is widely recognised as a leader in the energy, aviation, marine and insurance sectors and has strong disputes, corporate, commercial, regulatory and trial capabilities.

We provide counsel for the wider Central American region and maintain well-established links with energy, marine and insurance firms across Latin America.

We are the firm of choice for many international clients looking to expand into the newly deregulated energy market in Mexico, advising on offshore international public tenders, contracts with private and state owned companies, licences and permits required to perform offshore activities in Mexico as well as offshore contract litigation.

Our insurance team covers a wide range of work for leading domestic and foreign insurers and reinsurers across all business lines including general liability, product liability, D&O, E&O and professional liability. We are one of the few firms in Mexico with the experience and know-how to be able to attend to a wide range of claims, regardless of the area and quantum.

Our practice has the biggest casualty emergency response and maritime team in Mexico, which is supported by Clyde & Co’s global marine practice. We are able to offer complete legal advice following marine casualties such as collisions, groundings, pollution and environmental damage, fire/explosion, death and personal injury, salvage, wreck removal and towage, general average, damage to fixed and floating offshore installations and ship arrest.

Clyde & Co has been active in the Latin American market for over 25 years. Through our firm's global outlook, we have built a pragmatic and solutions focused team in Mexico City that works closely with our Latin American desks in London, Madrid and Miami and New York. These desks include Spanish and Portuguese-speaking lawyers, many of whom are dual-qualified.
