The broad leadership team also includes several experienced practitioners based in Mexico City: Juan Carlos Partida, a trade remedies and customs expert; Eduardo David, who focuses on M&A; and Arturo Bañuelos, who has a broad advisory practice regarding trade matters (while also being one of the firm’s go-to litigators), are all key practice figures.
