Our team has an excellent reputation for solving complex disputes and navigating the federal and state courts.  We have successfully prevailed in numerous disputes in local, administrative, and federal forums, including before the Supreme Court.  We are proud to represent a wide spectrum of Mexico’s leading corporations, including leaders in the retail, beverage, cement, steel, and automotive sectors. Indeed, our partners are able to draw upon their respective backgrounds as corporate General Counsels to ensure our approach is aligned with our client’s business interest and provide all available legal tools to obtain favorable outcomes. We are known to give preventive advice, although we have a reputation for fiercely defending our clients when disputes do arise. We avoid lengthy and unnecessary disputes and pride ourselves in always working to enhance our clients’ best interests. 

We have proudly represented several clients before Federal, State, and Municipal authorities across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. As a result of our legal backgrounds and tireless work ethic, we consistently ensure our clients are fully compliant with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar domestic or international regulations. We are known to work with all relevant political parties and actors, and consistently achieve our clients’ interests irrespective of political affiliation. We are fortunate to have well-respected clients who share our ethical commitments, which allow us to fiercely advocate for them before authorities and amplify our arguments. 

Our Partners and Of Counsel members have unique backgrounds and decades as General Counsels or Lead Counsels to leading Mexican and international companies. We strive to bring value-enhancing legal advice to achieve our client’s objectives, balancing their business needs with solid legal advice. We promote legal services based on results and satisfaction of our clients, aligning with their needs and always working towards their unique objectives in each transaction. We also understand that time is of the essence and we take pride in always delivering results on time. We have wide experience with transactional law and focus on making deals happen, without jeopardizing a deal’s legal foundation or our client’s best interests.

As part of our core services, we provide legal counsel and management to real-estate developers. This includes securing licenses and permits in a timely manner from the Urban Development local departments and state and federal authorities when applicable. We have extensive expertise in both urban and rural developments, including rural common property ("Ejidos"). Our expertise further includes extensive experience navigating legal proceedings that challenge or restrict the rights of our clients’ real estate assets.

As Environmental law continues its fast-paced evolution, our team of professionals is well prepared to assist our clients with their regulatory obligations related to licensing and compliance. Moreover, we have experience navigating the legal challenges triggered by increasingly active regulators and environmental prosecutions at local and federal levels.   We have successfully represented many clients in environmental legal proceedings and successfully preserved their uninterrupted operations while alleviating the concerns of the regulator and/or prosecutor.  Our practice includes licensing for energy generation facilities, mining concessions, protected natural areas, water property rights, hazardous materials, atmospheric emissions, federal terrestrial maritime zones, and waste discharges.

Many of our valued clients take advantage of Mexico’s various trade and tax incentives and export to the United States or other geographies. Our experienced team is able to find tailor-made legal frameworks for our clients to take advantage of all available export-import programs and incentives offered by local and federal authorities. As Free Trade Agreements evolve, and with the looming threat of tariffs, we are well prepared to defend and formulate creative legal alternatives so that our clients can rapidly adapt to the fast-paced trading environment.

We are committed to providing our clients with built-to-suit compliance programs applicable to their businesses and practices. We emphasize preventive efforts to avoid future contingencies that would distract our clients from their core business. Further, we strive to protect our clients’ rights and facilitate and promote their internal compliance efforts.

We have represented multiple clients in white-collar fraud proceedings and have vigorously and successfully enforced their rights with local and federal Attorney General, and subsequently in formal legal proceedings.  We work hand in hand with leading forensic accountants to determine the existence of any illegal conduct and consistently build solid cases to rebut alleged fraud, meeting the standards for prosecution.
