The projects and infrastructure practice at Galicia Abogados S.C. specialises in advising on the development, financing, construction, operation and sale of infrastructure and energy projects, in addition to the negotiation of concession titles, public bidding processes, and related arbitration and litigation. The group’s diverse client roster routinely features sponsors, development banks, private equity funds and other financial institutions, along with government agencies, insurers, and contractors. Recent mandates have seen the team advise on highway, railroad, and health infrastructure projects. Eight partners share leadership; the names to note are Alejandro De La Borbolla, who focuses on the financing of energy and infrastructure projects; energy-focused Francisco Fernández Cueto; Bernardo Martínez Negrete (commercial law, life sciences, and the financing of infrastructure projects); the ‘results-oriented’ Antonio Borja and Ernesto Partida (energy and infrastructure project finance); and Eduardo García-Travesi, whose practice is centred on the financing and development of renewable power projects. Carlos de Maria y Campos and Eugenio Sepúlveda complete the leadership group. Alan Rogel is the key senior associate-level contact and handles financing, PPPs, and government acquisitions. Long-standing partner Humberto Pérez Rocha left the firm in September 2024.
