Mexico > Labour and employment Tier 3

Labour law boutique Ferran Martinez Abogados is warmly endorsed by its clients, who recommend the ‘exceptional service‘’ from ‘a diverse team that, although young, has extensive experience in labour matters’. The team advises on the labour elements of projects from start to finish, encompassing consultancy as well as potential litigation. Since its inception in January 2020, the firm has handled a wealth of enquiries regarding Mexico’s most recent employment reforms; specifically, those related to outsourcing, holiday provision and remote working. Its launch at the height of the pandemic not only meant a busy market but also spurred a technology-focused approach to counsel that is a hallmark of the practice. Practice head and managing and founding partner Carlos Ferran Martínez is dedicated to assisting multinational companies with consultancy, labour restructurings, compliance, and social security matters. He is aided by José Alberto Sánchez Medina, who was raised to the partnership in April 2023.

Testimonials

The lawyers Carlos Ferrán and José Alberto Sánchez truly mark a differentiator with respect to lawyers from other firms because they have a marked ability to respond to problems in companies with the necessary speed. They understand and listen to the needs of the company in order to find a viable and timely option. They do not centralise the consultation in a single person, which usually causes delays and, above all, they have extensive knowledge of individual and collective labor issues.

Exceptional service in all inquiries, they try to make the client feel that it is their priority and understand the business in such a way that they provide adequate advice that understands the company’s objective and tolerance for risk management.

It has a diverse team that, although young, has extensive experience in labor matters with several of the most important companies and sectors in the country.

Its personalized attention from partners who also actively participate in government commissions related to labor law legislation, which allows them to have updated information for decision-making.

It seems to me that being a very specialized firm in the labor area, the knowledge they have on the subject is deep and very up-to-date, which is why they differ from other firms that only have a labor department which often remains “short” before recommendations. In addition, the attitude and availability of all its members make it appear that they are “in house”, which makes them an excellent business partner in the company’s operations.

José Alberto Sánchéz always has a very good disposition, he has very good communication tools and therefore he is clear in transmitting things. The knowledge he has in labor issues is extensive and very up-to-date, which makes him an outstanding lawyer and an excellent ally for companies.

Carlos Ferrán is someone who is highly prepared, he understands the complexity of situations quickly due to his experience and his critical analysis of the issues, making him a partner of the company.

Synergy, innovation and teamwork are three of the strengths of this team. They are a team whose main objective is the well-being of their client, therefore they take the time to understand them and their particular needs. They take great care of the overall client experience, providing litigation and consulting services that complement each other.
