07/13/23 • 25 min

Dante Trevedan and Hernán González, partners in our Mexico City office, join Sarah Devine and Rebecca Abou-Chedid for a conversation about recent amendments to Mexico’s mining law. We discuss what has changed, what it means for the mining industry, what we can expect from implementing regulations, and how existing projects can protect their rights in the face of these changes. We also discuss the potential impact of lawsuits by private parties. Since the recording of this episode, some companies have filed “amparo” lawsuits to block implementation of the mining law amendments.
