De la Vega & Martínez Rojas, S.C.‘s 'highly trained team of experts in the field' of labour and employment law makes for a stellar choice across the range of complex matters in the Mexican market. Multinationals from a wide spectrum of industries look to the specialist boutique for assistance with collective bargaining agreements, as well as negotiations with unions. Furthering its ability to assist clients based in different industrial hubs across the country, and those based in the US, the firm opened a new office in Monterrey in February 2024. Enrique García Conde is the lead contact at the new location and has 30 years’ experience in labour advisory and litigation. Leading the broader practice at the firm are its two founding partners Oscar de la Vega Gómez and Ricardo Martínez Rojas, both among the foremost figures in the Mexican market. Héctor de la Cruz is a younger partner who undertakes litigation and collective bargaining, with a niche specialism in the aviation sector. Collective negotiation specialist José María Galindo is an additional key partner. Jimena Adriana Sánchez Argoytia left the firm in April 2024. Associate Oscar de la Vega Castillo assists the partners and has recently acted in a number of high-profile litigations.
