TMT
A diverse client base of familiar multinationals across the TMT field instruct Baker McKenzie Abogados, S.C. on matters covering a broad range of practice areas. Cybersecurity and tech transformation are recent market trends which have seen an uptick in the department's workload, with companies keen to trial new technologies in the Mexican market as the regulatory landscape is friendlier than in other major markets. The global network of Baker McKenzie offices is a boon in terms of drawing new clients, but the Mexico team’s reputation is also increasingly strong, particularly among social media companies. Carlos Vela-Treviño leads the practice and is one of the market’s leading names in data privacy and cybersecurity law; he also has a robust practice across IT and telecoms law. Carlos Dávila-Peniche is an IP lawyer with strong experience acting for TMT clients; while Daniel Villanueva-Plasencia, raised to the partnership in January 2023, is a further key IP contact at the firm’s Guadalajara office.
