Luis Roberto Fernández Lagunas

Energy & Natural Resources: Power, Mining, Oil & Gas, Project Finance, M&A

For more than 13 years, Luis has focused his practice on the energy sector, earning a strong reputation for designing, negotiating, and implementing sophisticated corporate and contractual structures for major energy projects, including electricity generation. He advises both domestic and international clients on complex regulatory matters, off-take transactions, project development, renewable and conventional energy M&A, and project finance.

More recently, Luis has expanded his practice to the mining sector, where he advises on regulatory matters, acquisition of mining rights (including net smelter royalties and streams), and a broad range of corporate issues. His unique combination of regulatory insight and transactional expertise positions him as a trusted advisor for clients navigating Mexico’s evolving energy and natural resources landscape.

Luis has also played an active role in shaping Mexico’s energy policy, keeping clients at the forefront of regulatory changes and market opportunities. His experience includes advising the Energy Ministry and the Market and System Operator (CENACE) on the implementation of the Wholesale Electricity Market, the restructuring of CFE, and the design and rollout of the Long-Term Auctions—cornerstone elements of Mexico’s energy reform.
