Mexico
As Mexico emerges as a key player on the stage of world commerce, more and more U.S. companies are establishing and expanding operations in this growing marketplace. At the same time, a growing number of Mexican and Latin American enterprises are increasing their international business dealings. Whether U.S.- or Mexican-based, when you partner with Holland & Knight’s Mexico lawyers, you are connected to a legal team committed to serving your regional and global business goals.
A Unique Alliance
In 1998, Holland & Knight joined forces with Mexico City’s Gallastegui y Lozano, S.C., merging the strengths of a full service Mexican-based legal practice with those of one of the largest law firms in the U.S. The combined Mexico law practice draws on keen legal acumen and strong local relationships to ease the challenges of doing business across borders. Your counsel is further supported by a network of international lawyers encompassing more than 100 practice groups in offices worldwide.
