José Antonio Moreno Venegas

Expert and Diligent Counsel for Cross-Border Business Matters

Our company, based in Indiana, engaged José Antonio Moreno Venegas of Santamarina y Steta for a complex contractual dispute involving a former distribution partner in Mexico. From the outset, José Antonio demonstrated a profound understanding of the nuances in both commercial litigation and the specific protections available under Mexican Amparo law. His dual recognition in these areas by Best Lawyers was immediately evident in the strategic advice he provided. He expertly navigated the jurisdictional complexities between the U.S. and Mexico, crafting a litigation strategy that was both assertive and pragmatic. His deep knowledge of civil procedure in Mexico was invaluable, and he successfully secured a favorable settlement for us without the need for protracted court proceedings. His analysis was always thorough, and he took the time to explain each step in clear terms, making a foreign legal system feel accessible. The only slight critique would be that during the initial engagement phase, response times could occasionally be a day or two slower than expected, likely due to his demanding caseload. However, once actively working on our file, his communication was consistent. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend José Antonio to any business facing legal challenges in Mexico.
