About

Before moving in-house, Mauricio Ibañez founded and served as managing partner for law firm Ibañez Schriever & Hoffmann after spending a decade in some of Mexico’s most renowned firms. Spending eight years at the law firm he founded, Ibañez acted for local and foreign clients who required advice related to developing business in the globalised world. ‘Well connected and respected in the business community’ according to one source, in 2012 he was appointed as general counsel for Grupo México, the largest mining company in Mexico and a leading conglomerate in other diversified assets. In 2014, Ibañez oversaw, successfully coordinated and settled the largest ever civil and criminal environmental investigation and remediation undertaken to date by Mexico’s Ministry of the Environment. His work on the lawsuit that resulted from a large scale oil spill and achieving a cash settlement is well-recognised in the industry. One source commented on Ibañez as ‘a very experienced lawyer, a hard worker that always comes up with very creative and intelligent solutions’, skills that have been essential in challenging times for the company.
