Jones Day
Clients of Jones Day value the ‘seniority and professionalism’ of its litigation team, which assists with domestic and cross-border civil and commercial disputes. Antonio González (’always... at the forefront of criteria and best procedural practices’) has a very broad dispute resolution practice - his experience includes amparo trials, contractual disputes, corporate and shareholders litigation, bankruptcy, and financial matters. He co-leads the practice with of counsel José Antonio Vazquez (‘highly committed and ethical in all aspects’), who has similarly broad experience in significant civil and commercial cases. Fellow of counsel María Elena Huerta Ávila whose ’work gives a lot of confidence’ is another key contact; while at associate level, Daniela Montaño, Rodrigo Ramírez and Gustavo Galindo are all noted.

Mariela: excellent attitude, seniority, experience; her work gives a lot of confidence. Guillermo: breadth of knowledge of different subjects; very strong in his area of expertise; very good handling of difficult situations; shows a lot of experience.’
