GOODRICH RIQUELME Y ASOCIADOS
With 75 years’ experience, the evolution of Goodrich Riquelme y Asociados reflects the evolution of Mexico itself. After World War II, when Mexico began a dramatic industrialisation process, the firm grew substantially by handling the rising tide of direct foreign joint ventures. In the 1950s and 1960s it helped to usher Mexico into the aviation industry.
Now, as democratisation and liberalisation allow Mexico to form an integral part of the globalised economy, the firm’s client base is more multinational than ever. It has lawyers throughout Mexico, an office in Paris and is an active participant in the Bomchil Group, enabling it to benefit from associated offices in every Latin American country. The success of the firm’s innovation and ambition is reflected in our research – it enjoys 11 listings across eight practice areas.
