A team praised for its ‘distinguished track record in the public sector’, Norton Rose Fulbright is a strong choice of counsel for hydrocarbon projects involving negotiations with PEMEX. Its extensive client base consists of LNG, upstream and offshore operators as well as various development banks seeking regulatory and structuring advice in complex transactions. The group continues to build a portfolio in renewables and is increasingly advising on the development of solar and wind projects in Mexico. César Fernández is at the helm of the practice and has a deep understanding of local energy law, allowing him to provide strategic legal counsel on various landmark transactions. Praised for his M&A expertise, counsel Itzell Méndez focuses on the structuring of energy, maritime and other infrastructure products. Further support is provided by senior associate José Luis Romo, who has experience advising global oil companies, state-owned enterprises and regulators, as well as project contract negotiation. The team was further strengthened in October 2025 with the hire of associate Alejandro Beas, formerly at Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC.
