Mr Ramos specialises in economic competition, administrative law, amparo and litigation administrative, civil and commercial law, antitrust, and legal reforms. Brito Anderson handles few legal cases at the same time – only the most complex and those which are relevant in Mexico, along with those that are in the speciality areas of the firm. Most of Brito Anderson’s clients are among the top-
three companies in their respective fields. The firm has handled an important number of the most relevant cases in competition/antitrust law since the Mexican Federal Competition Commission was created. It successfully challenged the constitutionality of Article 26; section IV, the previous regulation of the Federal Law of Economic Competition, to prohibit the participation of third parties affected by the merger notification process that relieves the Federal Competition Commission. The firm also successfully challenged the unconstitutionality of Article 21 of the Federal Law of Economic Competition, for not foreseeing the possibility of third parties affected by concentrations may be involved in these processes (as far as is known, no one has made declarations of unconstitutionality referred). Further, Brito Anderson has obtained numerous acquittals in cases initiated by the Federal Competition Commission, both ex officio and mediating complaints, by the commission of absolute and relative monopolistic practices, in a variety of markets (airport, banking, foreign exchange centers, telecommunications of gaming, health, stores, real estate, various consumer goods, such as milk, snacks, beer, etc). In 2013, Brito Anderson was awarded the Antitrust Law Firm of the Year in Mexico, by Global Law Experts.
