Our team in Mexico combines exceptional depth and breadth of experience in local and international corporate and transactional law with the Firm's other market-leading global practices, enabling us to provide small, medium and large clients with expert legal solutions. Leveraging our experience in the areas of public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, global restructurings and strategic alliances, we help our clients achieve strategic advantage, navigate complex legal and business issues, and realize their long-term business objectives. 

Industry leaders see us as a reliable one-stop shop to carry out complex transactions with excellent fluency. We advise on an impressive list of both foreign and Mexican companies, including those mentioned in the report below. We often tap into Baker McKenzie's network of over 75 global offices to assist international companies doing business in Mexico. Our superior local knowledge, coupled with our cross-border, cross-practice capabilities, enables these corporations to focus on business goals by taking care of all the legal details of their transactions. 

Our local expertise across the Firm's five Mexican offices, however, allows us to also provide advice on entirely domestic deals between parties located in Mexico, as we remain the Firm with the biggest footprint in the country.
