Mexico > Labour and employment Tier 2

The ‘combination of extensive experience and excellent legal strategy in labour matters’ makes De la Vega & Martínez Rojas, S.C. a strong choice for complex labour and employment matters in Mexico. The specialist boutique is without doubt one of the go-to names for multifaceted matters relating to collective bargaining agreements, and for tricky negotiations with unions across the spectrum of sectors. In 2022, Audi was a new addition to the firm’s impressive client base of multinationals; the team inspires loyalty in much of its client base, having retained a number of them over decades. The group is led by its two founding partners: Oscar de la Vega Gómez, whose recent caseload has included negotiations to avoid major strike action; and Ricardo Martínez Rojas, whose four decades of experience includes employment contracts, collective conflicts, employment litigation and employee compensation and benefits. Other key contacts in the practice include collective bargaining negotiations’ specialist, José María Galindo; and Jimena Adriana Sánchez Argoytia, who is the main contact for compliance matters and is strongly endorsed by clients. Since publication the firm has opened an office in Monterrey,Nuevo Léon (effective February 2024), positioning it strongly to deal with the labour aspects of near-shoring; however, Sánchez Argoytia left the firm as of April the same year.
