Greenberg Traurig, S.C.
Client SatisfactionGreenberg Traurig, S.C. remains one of the best choices for contentious competition law matters in Mexico, excelling in litigation and investigations across a diverse range of industries. Clients appreciate the wide-ranging experience of the team, with practice head Miguel Flores Bernés (international economic law, competition and telecoms) drawing on his time working at Cofece to provide a 'comprehensive and complete vision of what “the other side” thinks'. Fellow practice co-head Victor Manuel Frías focuses on corporate M&A, competition and antitrust, and technology law. Away from its stellar contentious offering the practice is equally robust when it comes to competition advisory and merger control filings, recently acting on merger issues in the retail, agribusiness, hospitality and private equity sectors. Three key associates provide primary support: Abel Rivera Pedroza, who regularly represents clients before Cofece and the Federal Telecommunications Institute; Rocío Olea Salgado, who has strength in competition-related compliance matters; and Valery García Zavala, who has a broad antitrust practice, both contentious and non-contentious.

‘The team provides excellent service, always being very punctual in monitoring and advising on competition issues.'
‘Miguel Flores and Abel Rivera are always available to the client and provide effective and agile attention.’
‘We are very happy with the Greenberg team (Victor Frías, Miguel Flores, Abel Rivera). The team has a clear sense of urgency and priorities. The diversity of personalities makes the team very well-rounded, each person bringing different perspectives and tones to the conversation. We value the extra that the team gives in difficult times or with very fair deadlines.’
‘Highly prepared partners (Miguel Flores and Victor Manual Frías). A notable aspect of Miguel Flores is that he worked at COFECE, so he has a very comprehensive and complete vision of what "the other side" thinks, which allows him to anticipate certain actions or intentions on the part of the authority. In general, the entire team is very well prepared, the combination of different personalities forms a very integral team.’
