Firm Overview:

For over thirty years, Gonzalez Calvillo has challenged the standards and rewritten the full-service firm model with a solution-oriented approach, evolving the practice of law in Mexico. The firm is driven by the commitment of doing things differently, having a deep knowledge of the Mexican legal ecosystem, its behaviour and interaction with today’s globalised business environment. That is how over two hundred people, between partners, counsels, associates and administrative staff are responsible for making Gonzalez Calvillo one of Mexico’s leading law firms. The firm’s services are designed to help clients solve the most complex and challenging legal issues, finding the best solution for each case. By understanding clients’ business culture and strategy, the firm establishes a close and strategic alliance to enable them to achieve more.

Diversity is key to the firm. It seeks to promote balance and inclusiveness in its team and always values respect in its dealings with its clients and colleagues.

The firm has the best minds in every area and encourages its teams to work collaboratively and share their knowledge to provide comprehensive legal solutions. It has been proven that the firm’s multidisciplinary approach reveals great insights and creates productive discussions that lead to smart strategic thinking and bold decision-making. That is why the firm has a broad offer of practice areas that act as one to deliver integrated solutions.
