Praised for its ‘strong commitment to its customers’ and ’highly personalised’ service, the corporate team at EC Rubio is well-placed to advise corporations operating in the hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, real estate and energy segments on advisory mandates and M&A transactions. The group, which operates from offices in Mexico City, Querétaro, Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez, stands out for its broad geographical reach — the firm also has offices in León, Irapuato, and Puebla and, as of April 2024, added capabilities in Monterrey through its incorporation of local boutique Fegamo & Vasaf. Key contacts in Ciudad Juárez include César Ochoa and Felipe Mendoza (corporate and M&A, international trade and tax); and Daniela Flores (foreign investment, corporate governance and compliance). Key corporate practitioners in Mexico City include Eduardo David and Alejandro Montes (corporate and M&A, international trade); and counsel Daniel Magaña, who focuses on corporate, M&A, antitrust and compliance mandates. Querétaro-based Sergio de la Rocha and Lorena Mejía both handle corporate law, M&A and matters of foreign investment. Ricardo Morales Barrón left the firm’s Monterrey office in February 2025.

Testimonials

- 'EC Rubio's M&A team is very professional because they approach projects from different angles, i.e. they do not limit themselves to legal matters, but also involve the tax and social security areas, so the work is done in a comprehensive manner, resulting in a bulletproof project, facilitating the submission of notices to the authorities without delays or reprocessing.'
- 'Eduardo David is our first contact - he can point us to the right people in the firm, the current changes in the law and in the political environment that we need to think about in our planning and requirements. Daniel Magaña and Arturo Bañuelos are spot on advisors as well.'
