As one of the most recognised full-service firms in Mexico, Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. maintains a labour and employment law practice populated by ‘lawyers with high expertise’ that coordinate with the firm’s offering across business law to mitigate risk and handle complex union and collective negotiations. Among the dedicated labour and employment law professionals at the firm are specialists in union matters, harassment and discrimination, along with social security, all being coordinated by practice head Francisco Peniche. He ‘undoubtedly makes the difference’, according to one client; and is a deeply experienced advisor to multinational companies across compliance, restructurings and hiring structures, collective bargaining and investigations. Reorganisations, labour aspects of M&A, and both employee and executive compensation are the focuses of Julio Álvarez‘s practice; while Rodrigo Espíritu Santo (promoted to counsel in July 2023) can draw on over 25 years’ experience as internal and external counsel in the public and private sectors. At senior associate level, Alicia Abúndez and María Fernanda Pariente are the names to note.

‘It is a firm made up of lawyers with high expertise in different branches. I consider them to be the best I have worked with throughout my professional career. Without a doubt, they are distinguished by their customer service, their follow-up, their uprightness, their honesty, their ability to do things extraordinarily well and understand their clients' needs. They always comply with regulations and do not take unnecessary risks. They provide great follow-up to all topics, from the most complex to the simplest. They have great control and organization. There is great communication between them and that makes our clients' work easier. The warm and professional treatment is unmatched.’
