The Legal 500"Key support comes... increasingly from newly promoted counsel Fernando Medina, who in addition to his general corporate and commercial real estate experience is a regulatory and licensing specialist in the sector."
Fernando Medina collaborates with companies in structuring, developing, and executing innovative legal strategies for large real estate projects with mixed uses in growing areas. A problem solver, Fernando finds alternative solutions for his clients that allow them to develop their businesses within the prevailing legal framework.
Fernando's career has spanned civil, commercial, corporate, contract, real estate, and administrative work.

Later on, he started to represent clients in administrative filings (complaints) before the Federal Attorney's Office of Consumers, supporting them in commercial promotions, information, and advertising regarding different products and services.
Fernando has extensive knowledge in real estate matters, providing advice (in both English and Spanish) regarding industrial, leisure, commercial, and housing projects. He has also been involved in several agrarian transactions, providing advice to avoid legal claims on specific social land in Mexico.
Given his diverse practice, Fernando has assisted national and transnational clients from many industry sectors including aeronautics, food and beverages, computers, entertainment, finance, retail, leisure, housing, technology, and entertainment.
