Biography

Julio is a fully trained lawyer in both common- and civil-law systems—admitted to practice in Mexico, New York, and Texas, with Florida admission pending—bringing a dual perspective to his practice. He focuses on resolving high-stakes disputes across industries like energy, mining, finance, construction, shareholder relations, and sports. He represents clients in complex commercial and investor-state arbitrations under ICSID, UNCITRAL, ICC, LCIA, among others. In Mexican courts, he litigates high-profile cases, including constitutional amparos, bankruptcy proceedings, and government liability claims. Julio also advises on compliance—crafting policies, training programs, and regulatory strategies—and manages government investigations, steering clients through audits and advising on resolutions. Before co-founding Rivera Garcia in Mexico City, Julio practiced at a leading Mexican litigation firm for five years, then at two top-tier New York firms for nearly a decade.
