Telecommunications
From the privatization of Teléfonos de México in 1990 to the present, we have actively participated in the development of Mexico’s telecommunications industry, accompanying local and international operators throughout the most defining stages of its evolution. This track record has given us a deep understanding of a sector characterized by its technical, regulatory, and strategic complexity.
Our practice primarily encompasses mergers and acquisitions, finance, and capital markets, as well as advisory services to operators on antitrust and regulatory matters, including the granting and maintenance of concessions and licenses. With this comprehensive experience, we help our clients structure and execute their transactions with the legal certainty demanded by a sector in constant transformation.
The Legal 500 highlights the following regarding our Telecommunications practice:
“Corporate powerhouse Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C.’s powerhouse practice provides ‘quick and easily-digestible advice on complex issues’, primarily undertaking high-end transactions in the TMT sector itself, or having a TMT aspect as well as all the concomitant regulatory and administrative aspects, along with data protection, disputes and representation before the regulators.”
“Fast response and professional expertise regarding data protection and telecommunications questions.”
Meanwhile, Latin Lawyer notes:
“The firm is especially noted for transactional work in this sector, and typically this work is complex, multifaceted and cross-border. The team regularly lands a place on big-league deals, such as the proposed merger of AT&T and Time Warner, a deal that necessitated several ‘firsts’ in the realm of antitrust and telecoms laws in Mexico.”
