Our Sustainability & ESG practice takes a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to cover all the necessary legal aspects in this field, mitigate risks, and respond to the needs of our clients. We focus on analyzing the impact of current regulations on climate change management, energy transition, and sustainable financing, as well as having a long-term vision of where the regulations and public policies are headed. Our specialized team offers comprehensive advice on all relevant legal aspects of applying ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria.

Corporate Governance

We advise on the design of corporate governance structures for companies, both public and private, incorporating ESG criteria and considering the impact of climate change:

  • Board structure and transparency mechanisms.
  • Adoption and execution of corporate decisions.
  • Compliance structure.
  • Protection of directors’ liability.
  • Drafting of non-financial information statements.
  • Design and negotiation of clauses for reaction mechanisms in case of non-compliance and ESG criteria in contracts, especially in the supply chain.

Investment, Mergers, and Acquisitions

We incorporate ESG criteria into transactional processes, from due diligence to corporate decision-making, to protect the board of directors from potential liability claims. We also advise on managing the authorization of foreign investments with an ESG focus.

Sustainable Financing

ESG principles are fundamental in corporate and project financing. We offer advice on implementing these principles in financing structures, complying with applicable requirements. We provide guidance on sustainable finance aspects, including financial services regulations, taxonomy, voluntary codes of practice, sustainable vehicles, and investment funds.

Strategic Litigation

Litigation has become a key tool for environmental protection and combating climate change. Our team advises on:

  • Inspection visits.
  • Administrative procedures.
  • Climate and environmental litigation.
  • Administrative and constitutional litigation.
  • Procedures initiated by COFEPRIS, PROFEPA, and other authorities.

Environment and Climate Change

We identify applicable environmental requirements to ensure compliance and offer solutions that optimize waste, emissions, discharges, and noise management, improving environmental sustainability and corporate positioning.

Social Responsibility

We advise on human capital, social responsibility, diversity, equity and inclusion, and compensation and incentive programs related to ESG variables.
