TMT
With the June 2023 hire of Miguel Ángel Margáin (from Pérez Correa González), ECIJA further strengthened its TMT offering in Mexico, a field in which it has been steadily growing and diversifying in recent years. The team focuses on clients from the media, sports and e-sports, IT, and telecoms sectors, with advice varying from corporate governance, commercial agreements and compliance, to IP, data protection and outsourcing. Margáin joins a team of five key partners that jointly oversee the industry group: corporate and commercial law expert Ricardo Chacón; Joaquín Rodríguez, who focuses on data protection and e-commerce; compliance specialist Berenice Sagaón; and Kaynicté Pérez who advises national and international companies on new technologies, internet law, e-commerce, sponsorship agreements and contract negotiations. Both Sagaón and Pérez were raised to the partnership in December 2022.
Testimonials

‘The collaboration and follow-up with in-house lawyers is remarkable compared to other law firms.’
‘ECIJA Mexico has a lot of practical experience with various technology companies and that helps a foreign company like ours to install and operate in a foreign country safely and efficiently. The issues that stand out the most are: intellectual property, preparation of commercial contracts with clients, especially as far as contingency management is concerned and finally the corporate/tax issue to be efficient in the commercial operation.’
‘There is a diversity of expertise and a general senior contact from our account that allows us to go deeper when necessary and a quick response to more urgent issues.’
‘Very competent lawyers, who listen to the client and advise them from the point of view of lower risk for the company.’
