In a strategic move to address the increasing demand for labor and employment advice in Mexico, Atlanta-founded law firm Fisher Phillips has announced plans to establish three offices in the country. The expansion comes as Mexico experiences updated trade deals and a shift in manufacturing patterns, leading to a surge in the need for cross-border legal services. The firm, renowned for its labor and employment focus and currently boasting approximately 550 lawyers and nearly 40 offices in the United States, will set up its anchor office in Mexico City, along with satellite outposts in Guadalajara and Queretaro, two emerging manufacturing hubs.
The decision marks a significant milestone for Fisher Phillips, as these new locations will be the firm’s first outside of the United States. To lead this endeavor, the firm has brought in Germán de la Garza de Vecchi, previously at the helm of Deloitte’s Mexican legal practice, to head the three offices. Along with him, a team of about 30 lawyers from Deloitte has also transitioned to Fisher Phillips.
“The evolving landscape of Mexico’s labor and employment laws, modernization of trade agreements, and the growing trend of companies near-shoring production closer to North American markets have fueled an increased demand for cross-border legal services,” stated John Polson, chairman and managing partner of Fisher Phillips.
