EC Legal

In 1966, Mr. Luis Rubio Villegas and five other partners founded Rubio Villegas y Asociados in Mexico City. Initially, the firm offered corporate and tax law advise to an array of national and international clients. With the liberalization of trade in the late 1980s, its services were extended to international trade and, in the 1990s, its practice areas and clients multiplied to become one of the most prestigious in the city.

CBS Canseco Salda?a Escobedo was founded in 1984 in the city of Quer?taro, with a satellite office in Leon, Guanajuato. The firm provided legal services to foreign companies with businesses in Mexico, mainly in the industrial and manufacturing sectors (automotive, aerospace, food and beverages, real estate, etc.). By the early 1990s, CBS Canseco Salda?a Escobedo became a reliable partner of companies with operations in the country's central region and one of the most important law firms in Quer?taro.

EGAO Enriquez Gonzalez Aguirre y Ochoa was founded in Ciudad Juarez in 1992, with a satellite office in Mexico City. Specialists in the maquiladora industry (the firm is a pioneer in regulatory matters of the maquiladora industry), it soon became the leading law firm in the northern region of the country.

BGM Consultores Legales was founded by Oscar Bensojo in 1993 to provide advice on corporate matters and litigation services to individuals and corporations. Its partners were quickly recognized for their expertise and honesty, which made possible a trustworthy and long-term relationship with their clients. As time went by, the firm specialized in corporate law; civil, commercial and administrative litigation; labor law; mining; and, public brokerage.
