Its partners have an overall experience of at least twenty years working on real estate and commercial transactions, M&A, and/or complex litigation cases. The firm's partners have an international profile; part of their daily practice is advising clients from all over the world on Mexican law matters.
The Firm is well-balanced, providing a broad range of services including civil and commercial litigation, cross-border litigation (Mexico-USA), corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, labor and employment, business & financial restructuring, contracts and commercial agreements, real estate, private wealth management, and succession planning. We frequently handle matters for both plaintiffs and defendants involving alleged breaches of contract and the ever-evolving category of business torts.

The cornerstone of our firm is our solid litigation team, a group of professionals who are experienced in winning landmark cases and producing significant results. We have also participated in matters involving jurisdiction in two or more countries. We are courtroom lawyers, focused upon trials, appeals, arbitrations, and advocacy in all forums. We have handled thousands of cases and appeared in hundreds of courtrooms across Mexico. We have a keen understanding of judges, arbitrators, and other decision-makers. All of our partners have between 15 and 50 years of actual litigation experience in matters ranging from administrative to real estate, labor, banking, insurance, cross-border, class action, civil and commercial law. |
For years, DHA has participated in resolving real property-related disputes, including those related to protecting or recovering possession or ownership of real property and easements. We have also represented clients in litigation related to the granting of permits regarding zoning, land use and the environment. In Mexico, many properties in developing areas are subject to the ejido (communal land) regime. DHA has ample experience in litigating before the country’s agrarian courts and defending investors’ or landowners’ property rights. As regards construction contracts (either with the government or with private individuals), our team of litigators has intervened in numerous conflicts to resolve disputes arising from the enforcement of project-related contracts.

Our team members are regularly involved in adversary proceedings. Our attorneys represent bankruptcy trustees (National o Foreign) in claims against a debtor or its principals for making fraudulent schedules, misusing the bankruptcy system, or for avoidance and recovery of preferential or fraudulent transfers. Our attorneys have defended claims brought by trustees and debtors against creditors and other non-debtors sought exceptions or denial from discharge and contested lien priority.
Our firm understands that a positive working atmosphere promotes a successful labor relationship, where employees remain committed to accomplishing their employer’s goals. At DHA, we work with companies and employers in implementing strategies, policies, procedures and communications to meet their commercial objectives, while promoting employee productivity and loyalty.
Many employment disputes stem from a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge of the complicated federal rules that govern employer/employee relationships. We proactively assist clients to avoid costly disputes through on-site training programs, employee benefits programs and handbook preparation drafting and review, periodic client briefings and the ongoing publication of newsletters.
