BACKGROUND<\/b><\/p>\n Mexico\u2019s Congress has approved a reform to the Federal Economic Competition Law (\u201cLFCE\u201d), which is still pending publication in the Official Gazette (\u201cDOF\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n Building on the 2014 version of the LFCE, the reform introduces significant changes in three key areas: a redesign of the competition authority\u2019s institutional framework, adjustments to merger control thresholds and rules, and modifications to procedures, including an increase in penalties<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. KEY LEGAL CHANGES<\/b><\/p>\n A. Institutional Transformation<\/b><\/p>\n The Federal Economic Competition Commission (\u201cCOFECE\u201d) will be replaced by the National Antitrust Commission (\u201cCNA\u201d), a decentralized body under the Ministry of Economy.

New Merger Control Rules<\/b><\/p>\n C. Certification of Compliance Programs<\/b><\/p>\n The CNA may certify internal compliance programs in competition matters.<\/span><\/p>\n D.

Procedural and Legal Defense Changes<\/b><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n This reform represents a significant shift in Mexico\u2019s competition law framework, impacting corporate strategies, partnership structures, and internal compliance mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n In this new environment, companies should conduct a comprehensive review of their compliance with merger control, market conduct, and internal policies to anticipate regulatory effects and mitigate legal and reputational risks.<\/span><\/p>\n In this new landscape, it is essential to conduct a thorough review of compliance areas such as merger control, compliance programs, market conduct, and internal policies to anticipate regulatory impacts and mitigate legal and reputational risks.<\/span><\/p>\n Nader, Hayaux & Goebel has a dedicated team of specialists ready to support your company throughout this transition.
