Holland & Knight has launched a Mexican construction practice to advise companies that want to nearshore production and supply chains closer to the U.S.

The practice will be led by Claudio Rodríguez, an energy and infrastructure partner who headed the Mexico City office of Thompson & Knight before that firm merged with Holland & Knight in 2021. Rodríguez has extensive experience advising clients on infrastructure matters in Mexico, having previously served as a general counsel and legal manager at global European companies that operate in Latin America.
