Antonio De Lisi
Pérez-LlorcaThe ‘responsive’ and ’thoughtful’ team at Pérez-Llorca's Mexico office (formerly: González Calvillo) is frequently instructed by government entities, local and international development banks, energy companies and contractors for its project development and financing expertise. The group has experience advising on energy, power, water and highway projects, and also handles a range of regulatory and permitting mandates,along with projects-related litigation and arbitration. The department’s five partners share leadership: Enrique González Calvillo majors on cross-border transactions involving energy and power generation, as well as M&A, joint ventures and commercial arbitration. Jorge Cervantes Trejo and Rodrigo Rojas Robleda specialise in private equity, M&A transactions, and transactional projects mandates; Oscar Moreno Silva is well-versed in advising developers, lenders, and sponsors on the development and financing of energy, power, oil-and-gas, and water-related projects; while Hernando Becerra de Cima undertakes cross-border M&A and financings. Counsels Antonio de Lisi (infrastructure and energy project finance) and Julia González (regulatory matters and dispute resolution) are additional key contacts. Diana Pineda Esteban left the firm in April 2024.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘The team is probably the most responsive in my experience working in Mexico. Not only are they responsive, but they are thoughtful and try to understand the background of an issue in order to make the most appropriate recommendation for the client. Rodrigo Rojas is very reliable, agile and his team produces high quality work. We recommend them frequently.'
‘The consistency of high quality work and a super responsive team differentiates the team from its competitors. It is a highly recommended team that identifies key points, advocates strongly for its clients when appropriate, and guides transactions to a successful closing.'
