Wholly owned by Jones Lang LaSalle, JLL México has been providing specialised services to the Mexican real estate industry since 1991. Describing the company’s current chief legal counsel, Agustín Ballina Casares, one nominator explained: ‘[Ballina] is responsible for corporate affairs and general legal advisory at JLL in Mexico.

His legal background goes back many years and he has plenty of experience in dealing with almost any legal matter in Mexico. He is very well known by his peers’. Ballina joined JLL México in April 2015 and according to another nominator he ‘developed and created several internal procedures in JLL that have eliminated several risks’ during his time at the company. Before JLL, Ballina spent eight years at Walmart de México where he was responsible for the legal area in its real estate division.
