Dentons López Velarde‘s Monterrey office is directed by managing partner Gregorio Canales, whose broad practice takes in M&A and financing transactions, corporate and international trade mandates, real estate and energy work. Canales can draw on extensive experience advising foreign companies seeking to do business in northeastern Mexico, in particular those from the Far East – he currently serves as South Korea’s Honorary Consul in northern Mexico. The group benefits from Dentons’ worldwide footprint – including its relationship with Chinese giant Dacheng Law Offices – as well as its close collaboration with the firm’s Mexico City office. Also noted is senior associate Mercedes Espinoza, who majors on labour, employment, and social security matters, included related litigation.
