Arbitrations
The task of the Office in arbitration matters is multiple. It has the cognitive and material infrastructure to deal with any type of arbitration in commercial, investment or territorial or maritime disputes. The role of our professional group may be to fully represent the parties (individuals, States, companies), or to assist them in such proceedings. It is also possible that the Firm itself acts as an international arbitrator through the Managing Partner.
Human rights
The protection of fundamental rights before national instances and subsequently in international ones, in all its modalities and generations, is within the spheres of action of the Office. The cases are susceptible to be examined from their phases of domestic law.
International trade
The defense in commercial matters is offered both in purely national administrative procedures, including tax proceedings, as well as in their presentation before the federal courts in tax matters. Within the instances of retained jurisdiction, the procedures regarding action against unfair international trade practices (dumping, subsidies) are implemented; as well as temporary safeguards. Such defenses are also made before the regional mechanisms of the USMCA and derivatives of NAFTA, or before the universal ones of the World Trade Organization.
Foreign investment and suppression of international double taxation
Our Firm carries out business support and administrative procedures for the reception of foreign investments. It also guides and assists in national investment in other States. The possible supervening disputes, the Office initiates them before the courts of legality or before the federal courts of amparo. When the origin of the capital allows it, they are presented before the respective arbitration groups.
The cases of double or multiple international taxation, in their different fiscal implementations, are studied in consultancy from their first applications. Cases are submitted to the mechanisms provided for in the treaties on the matter. When there is no convention regarding a State, the defense is made through ordinary international cooperation.
Asylum, refuge and extradition
The international protection of people regarding legal actions or political persecution is a task in which the Firm has greater professional concerns. Regular admission, management of diplomatic and/or territorial asylum; as well as active and passive extradition procedures through the use of national and international formulas, are attended by our professional group. Such actions articulate national and international procedures.
Amparo and other constitutional protection procedures
The multifactorial nature of legal problems makes the exercise of constitutional protection mechanisms unavoidable, both because of the need to find the most immediate solution to legal problems, and because it is the necessary condition for the exhaustion of domestic remedies prior to resorting to legal proceedings before international instances. Apart from the natural management of the exercise of ordinary judicial actions, our Firm has a specific specialization in the most prestigious constitutional control trial of our legal tradition: the amparo trial. This is accompanied by the systems of constitutional actions and controversies.
Trials before permanent jurisdictional instances of universal vocation
The most significant differential aspect of this Firm is that of being the only one in the Spanish-speaking world with the legal specialization to be able to successfully represent States before the International Court of Justice. The creative analysis of the competence formulas of the Court of The Hague, coupled with the analytical deepening of the total spectrum of matters susceptible to being submitted to its jurisdiction, is a discipline under our domain.
The Firm maintains absolute neutrality in international relations, at the time of assuming such representations.
Environmental protection and renewable energy
The Firm has developed a technically specialized area with an absolute commitment of legal advice on safeguarding the environment, climate change mitigation and legal management of renewable energies.
This section of the Office links the multilateral obligations of States with developments in domestic law, placing them at the service of individuals, States, non-governmental organizations, and companies.
Our services in the matter range from preventive legal advice to specific legal actions.
Intellectual property
The dynamics of commercial, industrial and artistic activity is only possible with the administrative and contentious protection of creative acts. From the sometimes precarious national legislation to the great universal codifications, bring in the ineluctable need to establish intellectual property registration rights. This Firm carries out all the pertinent procedures in the national phase, in that of the leading States in the matter and before the World Intellectual Property Organization. In the event that it is appropriate to settle any controversy regarding such rights, the Firm can do so in the administrative phases, those of full jurisdiction or the constitutional ones. Disputes are also settled by this Firm before multilateral special groups.
International special procedures
The Firm accompanies judicial actions of a criminal, civil, maritime, labor or civil aviation nature that, when finding nugatory procedures in domestic law, require the intervention of international conciliatory or jurisdictional instances.
Legal assistance for diplomatic representations
We share the concern of multiple diplomatic legations, in the sense that the implementation of international obligations concerning the rights of foreigners in Mexico, most of the time lacks of simples procedures that facilitate the assistance of embassies regarding their nationals in this country.
The most recurring issues are linked to the interaction of international and domestic rules on consular protection, judicial cooperation, human rights, asylum, refuge and diplomatic leases inter alia; as well as other legal complexities related to international trade and direct and indirect investments, which require jurisdictional defenses both internationally and domestically, particularly the Amparo trial.
Mexican national language for diplomats
An embassy is par excellence the first point of contact between peoples. In this endeavor, the tool that achieves reciprocal interest is language. A diplomatic representation is confronted in everyday life to know in detail such complex civilizing expressions, such as Mexican culture.
Mastery of the language of the host State generates immediate empathy, when the linguistic management is accurate and implies interest and a successful effort on the part of the diplomats who use the language of the territorial State. The activities of the diplomatic corps range from a cultural festival to large commercial investments; from isolated public opinion to international influence and ascendancy. The credibility and reliability depend on the ability and fluency in the official language of the host country. The quality and efficiency in the management of the language in the international relations, leads to the success or failure of the projects.
Language teaching is fundamentally oriented towards legal, diplomatic and consular subjects.
