Sánchez Mejorada, Velasco y Ribé, S.C. founded in 1884 in the silver mining center of Pachuca, Hidalgo, currently with offices in Mexico City and Monterrey, offers to its Mexican and foreign clients (primarily US and Canadian corporations, with Australian and European companies making up the balance) a general corporate practice, including reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, with a heavy emphasis on natural resources. In addition to its ongoing corporate practice, the firm has participated, as advisor to the Mexican Government, in the drafting of federal legislation, including the current Mining Law, and in the privatization of State owned enterprises.

 

Its partners and associates are all bilingual English-Spanish, and some have, in addition to their Mexican law degree, advanced degrees from top Mexican and US universities, have work experience at major U.S. and Canadian law firms, and are admitted to the New York Bar. The firm consistently supports its young associates in the pursuit of such studies and work abroad. Involvement of the firm's attorneys in civic causes and teaching is encouraged.

 

The firm strives to take advantage of its size by providing personalized service, and highly values the development of long term relationships with clients based on professional competence, quality service and loyalty.

 

Sánchez Mejorada, Velasco y Ribé, S.C. is the oldest Mexican law firm still practicing today.
