Specialist labour law boutique Marván, González Graf y González Larrazolo, S.C. (MGGL)'s enduring expertise in the field stands the firm in good stead as Mexico’s employment law market becomes more complex and competitive. The team advises on the full range of union negotiations and has recent experience on matters in which US unions have funded their Mexican counterparts. The labour aspects of corporate mergers are routinely handled by the department, but it particularly differentiates itself from competitors in labour litigation, where it is a trusted counsel on some of the most complex cases in the country. Three lawyers coordinate leadership of the team: Héctor González Graf, one of the market’s best respected figures and the counsel of choice for a number of leaders in the insurance, financial services, retail and consumer goods sectors; Santiago Marván Urquiza, who is strong across the spectrum of non-contentious matters, along with employment litigation; and Nelson Guerrero Robles, who has a similarly broad practice but maintains a special focus acting for clients in every stage of complex litigation. Emilio Israel Garzón Juárez is a notable younger partner with knowledge of the pharmaceutical, health and retail industries; and Cristian Jésus Lamas Peregrina focuses on labour litigation. Oscar Bojorge was raised to the partnership in January 2024 and José Genaro Pérez Velázquez rounds out the group of junior partners. Paulina Mendietta stands out as a senior associate, assisting across the full range of work.
