INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW, ANTITRUST LAW AND TRADE REGULATION

The Mexican government continues to revise its laws governing foreign trade in order to establish procedures that are consistent with the World Trade Organization (WTO).

To a large extent, Mexico has reduced its protective barriers in accordance with its declared policy to be a participant in the international economic community. As a consequence, with NAFTA already in force, it has negotiated further trade agreements with Central and South American countries, the European Union and Pacific Basin countries.

The government has been vigilant in battling unfair trade practices, such as dumping and subsidizing, and in establishing compensatory quotas. We alert and represent foreign clients to unfair practices in which they are involved and assist domestic companies in combating such unfair practices as well as in other aspects of international trade activities, also keeping in mind that Mexico is now actively applying its competition law both in monopolistic practices and concentrations.
