In light of Mexico’s continuing trade openness resulting from economic globalization, companies and economic agents in general throughout Mexico, including foreign and domestic concerns alike, have had to improve their business practices and cooperation to remain key players in their respective markets. As a result, competitors, suppliers and consumers all demand competitive prices, goods and services.
These developments have led to the creation of the Federal Law of Economic Competition, enforced by the Federal Competition Commission.
In our antitrust law practice, Cuesta Campos has solid, specialized experience in assessing, analyzing, implementing and defending our clients’ interests, in regard of their commercial and corporate practices subject to legal compliance.
In conjunction with our mergers and acquisitions practice, Cuesta Campos has represented a variety of multinational and domestic corporations in the analysis of regulated concentrations pursuant to applicable law and in procedures with the Federal Competition Commission, such as filing notice of potential concentrations, requesting private rulings and attending to Commission inspections. We provide analyses and appropriate defense measures for our clients, as well as justifications of current arrangements to ensure favorable inspection outcomes.
Cuesta Campos also has wide-ranging experience and skills in the analysis, advisement and structuring of our clients’ business policies, including their business agreements, ensuring that they do not take part in prohibited commercial practices, such as absolute monopolies and relative monopolistic practices, depending on the respective arrangement. We also conduct investigations of alleged monopolies, such as antitrust aspects of procurement processes, price fixing, suggested prices, pricing agreements, and other related matters.
