ECONOMIC COMPETITION

We conduct detailed analyses of mergers and acquisitions to assess their impact on market competition and to determine whether it is necessary to notify the operation to the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE). We advise our clients on the notification process and on the implementation of corrective measures, if necessary.

The Firm has a solid Antitrust practice, which provides advice on all types of matters related to the matter, including:

• We establish with our clients an economic competition strategy taking into account the relevant market of their business, and we provide them with tools that allow them to know and avoid practices prohibited or questionable under applicable legislation.
• Representation of national and foreign clients before the Federal Economic Competition Commission (antitrust authority in Mexico).
• Advice regarding the procedure and investigations of absolute monopolistic practices, including the immunity program or reduction of sanctions.
• Advice on the filing of merger notices, acquisitions, corporate restructurings, and underwritings.
• Advice on pricing and distribution policies, as well as non-compete agreements.
• Advice on compliance with Mexican antitrust policies, including training courses for clients’ employees on the basic rules of compliance with antitrust laws.
• Advice on the establishment of internal policies in compliance with antitrust laws, including compliance audits and risk detection in terms of pricing policies and contracts with suppliers and customers.
• Advising clients on their actions against their competitors.
