With over 24 years of professional experience, Jaime specializes in labor and social security matters. He acts as legal representative of several companies in individual and collective matters before the Conciliation and Arbitration Boards, District Courts, Collegiate Circuit Courts, and the Supreme Court of Justice.
He provides them with advice and represents them in procedures concerning individual relationships with their workers and in negotiations with unions.
Within his practice, he assists with inspections carried out by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, the States’ Ministries of Labor and Social Welfare and the Mexican Institute of Social Security, as well as attending the administrative procedures for the application of sanctions to employers for non-compliance with labor standards.

He has advised, among other companies, Teksid Hierro de Mexico, Ngk Ceramics Mexico, Inteva Mexico and Tepso Plastics Mex in the handling of labor stoppages of their personnel. Likewise, he has represented these companies, as well as Arneses y Accesorios de Mexico, MD Helicopters, TWB Industries, and Grupo Yazaki in ownership and administration claims, strike procedures (for signing collective bargaining agreements, their revision or enforcement due to their violation or of legal provisions) and collective conflicts of an economic nature.

Mexico > Labour and employment
Santamarina y Steta’s labour and employment team is ‘one of the most recognised in Mexico’ and its ‘excellent lawyers’ are some of the country’s best-regarded advisors for collective bargaining issues and designing union negotiation strategies. Union conflicts are a standout specialism and the team has recently seen plenty of activity assisting companies with rapid response mechanisms. The team is also well-versed in representation before the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and the local labour ministries in several Mexican states. On the non-contentious side, the department works closely with transactional teams to support clients with M&A processes. Clients strongly endorse employment litigator Francisco Udave, who is one of four practice heads, along with Juan Carlos de la Vega
, the firm’s Monterrey-based managing partner; Andrés Rodríguez, whose expertise includes legal audits focused on labour compliance; and counsel María Elena Abraham, head of the firm’s immigration law department. A further key contact is counsel Jaime Vázquez, who represents clients at all court levels, as well as in investigations.
