As -arguably- the leading full-service firm in Mexico, Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. inevitably has a robust offering across the country’s key energy and natural resources space. Since the opening of the market to private investment two decades ago, the firm has acted for clients on both transactional and regulatory matters within the oil and gas, petrochemicals, power, mining and water industries. Its familiarity with the market and regulatory landscape, combined with broader corporate and M&A strength, means the practice continues to be a destination for companies conducting transactions in these sectors. Project development and financing expert Santiago Sepúlveda leads the team in conjunction with José Ignacio Segura, who has a wealth of experience advising clients in the electricity generation and natural gas industries, especially on project finance matters. Experienced associate Juan Carlos Luna -a former Deputy General Director of the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH)- has experience across oil and gas, power generation, infrastructure, project finance and public private partnerships.
