Acedo Santamarina has hired Enrique López as a new partner and Roberto Altamirano as counsel

 Mexican law firm Acedo Santamarina has hired Enrique López Méndez as new partner and Roberto Altamirano as counsel. Both promotions will take effect on 1 January 2022.

Founding partner Andrés Acedo commented: “We are very pleased with the appointments of Enrique López and Roberto Altamirano, because regardless of their valuable contribution to the firm in their respective practice areas, they are people who share the vision, strategy and values that we have been building over the years.”

Enrique López (pictured left), a senior associate in the corporate and M&A practice, joined the firm in 2013. His extensive and outstanding experience in transactions related to Restructuring, Public Procurement, Telecommunications, Antitrust and anti-money laundering, has allowed him to consolidate his growth in the firm within these areas, and merit promotion to the partnership.

Roberto Altamirano (pictured right) has been in charge of complex matters in the Litigation area of the firm since 2011, where he gained experience in handling Civil, Commercial and Administrative Litigation, as well as in amparo and complex arbitration proceedings. Mr. Altamirano, in his new capacity, will lead and direct the Litigation area.
