Chevez Ruiz Zamarripa
Clients of Chevez Ruiz Zamarripa appreciate its ‘non-traditional outlook’ and the ’deep level of knowledge’ of its practice head Mayeli Cabral. She has taken over leadership duties for the team following the October 2022 departure of Rafael Vallejo . The practice is fully integrated with the firm’s international trade and tax practices, and thus has a particular strength in restructurings and organising foreign companies’ operations in Mexico. Cabral is an expert in labour risk management and also assists with labour litigation, where Juan José Soto is the main contact. At associate level, Gabriela Farias, Fabiola Lazcurain, and Denise Lechuga are the names to note.
