EC Rubio

More information
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.
