Mario Prado > EC Rubio > Mexico City, Mexico > Lawyer Profile

Best known for its market leading international trade and commerce capabilities, EC Rubio  has a lengthy track record advising multinational corporations with business operations in Mexico from across a broad array of industries, particularly regarding cross-border work. Derived from its above mentioned IT&C practice, the team houses particularly strong expertise in the maquiladora industry (where it advising clients primarily drawn from the automotive, industrial and logistics services industries) and which positions it well to benefit from the wave of “near-shoring” work that is driving much of the country’s current corporate activity. A sizeable, 30-plus team includes key practitioners César Ochoa (foreign investment, corporate law and real estate) and Daniela Flores (foreign investment, corporate governance and compliance), in Ciudad Juárez; Eduardo David (M&A, corporate restructuring, joint ventures and takeovers), Mario Prado (corporate and regulatory matters), René Alva (foreign investment) and Alejandro Montes (corporate, transactional and AML-compliance), in Mexico City; and Sergio De La Rocha and Lorena Mejía (both of whom handle corporate and contractual law, JVs and foreign investment) in Querétaro. Younger partner Yamel Cázares and Daniel Magaña, who was promoted to counsel in March 2022, are also noted. The firm also has offices in Irapuato, Chihuahua and Puebla.
