About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

We are one of Mexico's highest ranked law firms, with a significant employment and compensation practice. As such, we routinely address some of the most critical and strategic employment law issues, as opposed to providing standard legal advice. Supported by our award-winning industry focus, some of our practice related expertise includes:

• Cross Border Workforce Restructuring: We have particular expertise in helping clients navigate major cross-border workforce restructuring.

• Subcontracting: The subcontracting environment in Mexico is facing significant challenges due to the recent policy amendments implemented by the current Administration. We have carved out a particular niche of expertise in this area through advising many clients on how they can adapt to these changes.

• Modern Slavery: We advise many multinational clients on modern slavery issues, on the impact of modern slavery legislation to both local and international operations, and in particular responding to psychosocial queries regarding compliance. We offer seminars for clients but also customized workshops in their workplace to train their workforce and administrative staff on how to deal with the changes that often mean employees claiming psychosocial risks that turn out to be not related to work conditions, as well as let employers know what changes to implement in order to offer better work conditions.
