Carlos Ochoa majors on energy, infrastructure, real estate, project finance and M&A transactions; and Rodolfo Rueda, who divides his time between Mexico City and Houston, and deals with regulatory and government affairs, as well as cross-border natural resources and energy transactions. Senior counsel Aldo Gonzalez Melo‘s practice focuses on corporate law, projects, and structured and public finance, as well as the structuring of infrastructure and energy transactions. Since publication, the practice has been further strengthened with the hire of Mónica Rodríguez Díaz as a senior policy advisor; her experience includes both time at the Comision Reguladora de Electricidad (CRE) and as an independent energy consultant.
