Mijares, Angoitia, Cortés y Fuentes S.C.'s 'combination of practicality with a deep knowledge of labour law' underpins a department that excels in the full range of transactional labour and employment matters, but also provides robust support in general labour litigation and amparo cases. As a full-service firm, clients are drawn from its multitude of established departments, but the group also operates as a stand alone practice receiving direct instructions. The department works closely with its M&A counterparts on transactional matters and also has strong relationships with US law firms making enquiries about Mexican labour law on their clients’ behalf. The practice is co-led by Claudio Jiménez de León and Rodrigo del Valle: the former is an experienced advisor to national, foreign, public and private companies in this field; while del Valle frequently assists with workforce restructuring, high-level executives’ compensation, compliance strategy, collective dispute resolution and employee transfers. At associate level, Francisco Cisneros is an experienced labour litigator of note.
