Mexico: Corporate Immigration
These are times of plenty for Mexican immigration lawyers – a new immigration law passed in May has brought about an increase in advisory work and multinational companies have continued their expansion into the Mexican market. We identify five lawyers as leaders in this developing sector.
Aguilar Noble Salgado y Asociados is once again the only firm to have earned two inclusions in our list, with both its founding partners highly nominated. Its boutique status, in the words of one source, “translates into a great service”. The “brilliant” Juan Carlos Aguilar Noble advises corporations on a range of immigration matters, from visas to nationalisation procedures. He was lauded by one source for making his corporation’s transfer “totally hassle free”. Rodrigo Salgado Moreno is “an exceptional lawyer” and has a broad experience in strategic immigration planning for large multinational companies.
