Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright today announced that Mexico City projects lawyer Dante Trevedan has been promoted to senior counsel, effective January 1, 2021.

Trevedan, who joined the firm in 2017, focuses his practice on project finance and government procurement, particularly in the energy and mining sector. He also advises on employment and labor, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust and white-collar crime matters.

Throughout his 16-year career, Trevedan has advised clients on a wide range of complex projects, including representing Osisko Gold Royalties in its acquisition of the San Antonio gold mining project in Sonora, Mexico, from Gerald Metals.

Trevedan was also part of the Norton Rose Fulbright team that represented Enel Green Power S.p.A. on the US$1.35 billion sale of a Mexican holding company that indirectly owns a portfolio of eight renewable energy projects. He also assisted Enel in financing the same portfolio of renewable energy projects, and he advised Petrofac during its upstream operations sale in Mexico.

Licensed to practice in Mexico, Trevedan earned his JD from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, postgraduate degrees in employment law and amparo proceedings from the Universidad Panamericana, and his LLM degree with honors from the Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent College of Law.

Trevedan was selected by USAID, the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, the Illinois Institute of Technology and a panel of Illinois judges as one of only three Mexican attorneys for a program funded by USAID to promote and advance the introduction and development of oral trials in Mexico's legal system.

Trevedan is member of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators, Asociación Nacional de Abogados de Empresa, and Barra Mexicana Colegio de Abogados, among others. He has also lectured on contracts law in the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superios de Monterrey, employment law in the Universidad Anáhuac and Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, and corporate governance in the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey postgraduate academic program.
