EC Rubio is praised by clients for its 'professionalism and punctual service' in labour and employment matters wherein it has a stellar client list among companies operating in the industrial, manufacturing, mining and maquiladora spheres. One of the areas at the front of clients' minds in those areas recently has been compliance with USMCA labour regulations, and the group is a strong choice for such counsel. On the contentious side, the team is adept in litigation, while placing emphasis on conflict avoidance where possible. Javier Canseco, an experienced advisor to Fortune 500 companies, is especially strong on investigations and compliance. He co-leads the department with Ana María Becerra, who focuses on risk prevention; and Perla Arreola, a veteran of both contentious and advisory matters across the practice area. Roberto Alvarez-Malo frequently performs labour due diligence and prepares labour infrastructure for clients, and a further key contact is March 2024 partner promotion Alma Oviedo, who is focused on prevention of individual and collective litigation. Furthermore, in July 2024 the firm hired Reynold González Villarreal as a counsel at its Ciudad Juárez office; he handles both labour advisory and litigation as part of a broader corporate practice that also takes in compliance matters.
