ECIJA

The February-2023 hire of Carlos Del Razo (‘an exceptional lawyer’, with ’great experience in the sector’ and whose ‘insight and advice is very practical’) from specialist boutique Carvajal Machado Abogados, and who arrives as practice head at ECIJA’s Mexico office, signals the firm as one-to-watch in the environmental law sector; the four-strong team has been active in due diligence matters and representations before relevant authorities (such as SEMARNAT and CONAGUA), with notable mandates including assisting a mining operation in Chihuahua with the amendments of its existing environmental impact authorisations.
