The ‘robust and diverse’ energy team at Dentons López Velarde fields ‘specialists in many subjects’, and is as comfortable assisting with regulatory issues as it is on the transactional front. The team is well versed at advising international clients on contracts and projects awarded by the Mexican state in the upstream exploration and production (E&P) segment; while in midstream matters, development of pipelines and terminals, as well as trade of materials are regular sources of work. Clients see the ‘experience and leadership’ of practice head Rogelio López-Velarde as a boon; he has been a stalwart of the hydrocarbons market since its opening up in the 1990s. He co-lleads the practice along with Jorge Jimenez, who is experienced in upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas matters, as well as in the power sector; and regulatory energy law expert Amanda Valdez. Key senior associate support is provided by administrative law specialist Alberto Esenaro; and the arbitration, competition and international trade-focused Imanol Ramírez.
