He regularly represents clients in all industries, especially in TMT, in merger control filings, investigations and leniency applications before both the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT) and the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), as well as in constitutional appeals (amparo) before Federal Courts.

In the TMT sector, he regularly assists clients in the telecom, broadcasting, satellite, entertainment, automotive, e-commerce and OTT industries regarding Mexican laws, regulations and authorizations.

Jorge is ranked as an expert in the field of competition and antitrust by Chambers and Partners, Who’s Who Legal, The Legal 500, Global Competition Review (GCR), Euromoney’s Legal Media Guides and Best Lawyers, and in TMT by The Legal 500 and Best Lawyers. In 2019, Who’s Who Legal named him Latin America’s “Most Highly Regarded” non-partner in the field of competition, describing him as a “very clever, very diligent lawyer” who is “great on merger control remedies”.

During 2015 and 2016, Jorge worked as an associate in Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP’s antitrust, competition and trade practice group in Brussels, Belgium.
