For U.S. law and accounting firms
Mexican counsel for your clients.
When a client's matter reaches Mexico, Mariela Cárdenas, LL.M., covers the Mexican-law side and keeps you informed, in English.
She reports to you as well as to the client
You receive the same updates and documents the client receives, in English, so the Mexican part of the matter is never a blind spot in your file.
Your client remains your client
The engagement is limited to the Mexican matter you bring. The relationship with the client stays where it is.
Mexican law only
The office advises on Mexican law and appears before Mexican authorities and courts. U.S. questions stay with you.
The attorney herself
You work directly with Mariela Cárdenas. She holds an LL.M. from St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas, and coordinates with U.S. counsel on cross-border matters.
