Greenberg Traurig, S.C.
Clients of Greenberg Traurig, S.C. particularly value the firm's ‘highly specialised’ competition and antitrust team due to its members’ professional experience at the competition commission. The group regularly acts for major players in a variety of industries when COFECE undertakes investigations into their sector of operation, and the department also saw a rise in activity for its pre-merger filing practice during the course of 2022. The practice is co-led by Victor Manuel Frías, an expert in transaction-related competition law matters; and Miguel Flores Bernés (a former Commissioner at what was then the Comisión Federal de Competencia) who is well-versed in government merger reviews, investigations into anti-competitive conduct, litigation and general compliance counsel. At associate level, both Abel Rivera Pedroza and Valery Dayne García Zavala are recommended by clients, while Rocío Olea Salgado has played a key role in handling the aforementioned boom in pre-merger filing mandates.
