Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C. has longstanding strength in labour and employment advice, holding it as a key component of its broad offering to clients in the management of their operations in Mexico. Clients are drawn from both the public and private sectors and the department is well versed in union negotiations and collective bargaining processes across a broad range of the most prominent industries in the country. A host of Fortune 500 companies look to the firm for their day-to-day labour law advice; while on the contentious side of the practice, the team is a strong choice for the full suite of dispute matters. A trio of lawyers jointly coordinate the department: Jorge de Presno, a veteran of the discipline and specialist in both collective and individual labour, employment and social security law; David Puente, who has a similarly broad practice and is the lead contact at the firm’s office in Monterrey; and Luis Álvarez, who was raised to the partnership in July 2023 and is particularly strong on contentious matters, including labour audits related to individual and collective relations. Senior associate Alejandro Hernández is a further contact to note for labour litigation.
