Holland & Knight's Mexico City office acts for a select multinational client base across the segments constituting the TMT sector and is well regarded for advice on M&A, restructuring processes and high-profile litigation. While characterised by their international presence, the practice's client base reflects a broad array of industry stake-holders and participants - from investors, lenders and developers, to private-sector companies and fibre-optics developers. Luis Rubio and Octavio Lecona co-lead the practice, with 2023 partner-appointment Alejandro Sánchez Mújica (technology transfers, data privacy, cyber-security and IP) a further name to note.

Testimonials

  • 'I highly value the knowledge of the subject matter, the experience and the diversity of the team in different TMT areas. The support in the various consultations on telecoms and regulation are very well complemented by the good relations with government entities such as the IFT and the SICT, which effectively help with our requirements and decision-making. The flexibility and openness in the administrative processes are very important and we take them into account when contracting their services.'
