Von Wobeser y Sierra, SC

Von Wobeser y Sierra is a Mexican law firm founded in 1986 that offers a wide range of legal services (full-practice) through 18 practice areas and 7 industry groups. Our founders started the firm to challenge the status quo with a practical, agile and creative mindset, an approach the Mexican market was lacking. Forty years later, that purpose still holds.

We offer a fully integrated platform where corporate, regulatory and dispute resolution capabilities work as a single service model, rather than as isolated practices, enabling multidisciplinary teams to accompany clients throughout the entire business life cycle.

We build long-term relationships with our clients through a collaborative, problem-solving approach. Many are industry leaders, represented in the Fortune 500 as well as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, FTSE, DAX, Nikkei and Mexico's IPC indices.

We have a strong, diverse team of world-class talent: more than 180 legal professionals (including 26 partners, 6 of counsel and 9 counsel), plus legal interns and administrative staff. Our lawyers are backed by outstanding academic and professional training. Many hold graduate degrees from top universities in the United States and Europe, and have visiting lawyer experience at globally renowned law firms.

We solve our clients' most complex legal challenges with the highest quality service, prioritising their interests and business success through an expert, solution-oriented team

In recent years, our firm has grown in a steady and sustainable fashion, at a pace that is hardly matched by any other leading-tier Mexican law firm. We are proud of what we have built, and we are excited about our future.
