Government Relations

Mexico has signed free trade agreements with thirty-two countries and investment accords with twenty, more than any other country in the world. Nevertheless, the Mexican Constitution limits foreign and private investment in several strategic sectors—in particular, energy. And in those sectors open to private participation (telecomm, non-energy natural resources, transportation, manufacturing), the political and regulatory environment remains complex.

To further our client’s objectives in Mexico, AmeriCompass provides access, representation, and advocacy before federal, state and local government decision-makers and state-owned enterprises. These services are particularly apt for foreign firms looking to enter the Mexican market or pursue a specific project in heavily regulated sectors.

In addition, for those multinational companies with existing operations in the country but outside the nation’s capital city (e.g., Monterrey, Guadalajara or the border region), AmeriCompass may serve as an outsourced Relationship Manager before key public and private sector officials in Mexico City.

AmeriCompass Government Relations services include:

• Lobbying Congress and the Executive with respect to proposed legislative reforms, policy changes, and regulations affecting our client’s interests.
• Preparing position papers and public comment with respect to rulemaking and interpretation.
• Providing access to key executive and legislative decision-makers and stakeholders at the federal and state level.
• Monitoring issues and developments in Government affecting our client’s interests.
