Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC is a reliable destination for companies requiring labour and employment advice, particularly as applied to major transactional matters. Restructuring of work forces due to M&A, divestitures, joint ventures, and spin-offs are routinely handled and the practice is experienced in such matters for some of the key multinationals from various industries operating in Mexico. The team also has capabilities in collective bargaining agreements, handling recent mandates in the retail, cosmetics and automotive industries, as well as further depth in labour litigation and social security issues, along with anti-corruption compliance. Rafael Vallejo c0-leads the department and is one of the country’s best-recognised advisors to domestic and foreign companies across labour, social security and benefits matters. Alongside him, Rodolfo Trampe  is an experienced figure in assisting Fortune 500 companies with their expansions into the Mexican market. Counsel Adrián Castillo is a key name for labour dispute resolution, while associate Alejandra Arizpe provides standout support across the full range of work. Since publication we sadly have to report that Rodolfo Trampe passed on in early November 2024.
