Valdés Abascal y Brito Anderson, S.C. is a leading Firm in regulatory affairs and legal amendments.
The Firm specializes in legal – economic analysis of the problems to be solved, related to the drafting of opinions, drafts of legal reforms and the corresponding supporting documents as well as in the technical explanation of those documents before the necessary governmental entities, and when necessary the Firm seeks the support of expert political lobbyists with whom it has a strategic alliance.
This experience represents important benefits for business entities, since it facilitates their operation, by means of preventing and correcting their problems in an efficient manner, avoiding years of controversies before the courts.
One determinant fact that has significantly contributed to the development of this practice area is that four of the Firm’s members were appointed in key positions of the Federal Government and had the responsibility to draft and negotiated diverse legal reforms. Another one of its members is a prestigious economist with a vast experience in economic analysis of legislation and markets.
The above has resulted in the Firm’s intense practice in regulatory affairs and legal reforms, having advised the Presidents of Mexico Office, the Ministry of Energy, The Ministry of Communications and Transport, the Energy Regulatory Commission, the Economic Deregulation Unit, the Federal Commission of Regulatory Improvement, the National Water Commission and the State Government of Mexico.
We have also advised interest groups, such as the Industry Coordinator Counsel and the National Livestock Confederation.
