About
Provided by Goodrich Riquelme y Asociados
We distinguish ourselves by providing companies with effective counsel and litigation services, not only in Employment/Labour matters but also regarding social security and the national workers’ housing fund, whose respective legislation in Mexico, is closely linked with the Labour Law because employers are obligated to register all their employees with, and pay dues to, the government agencies charged with administering both mandatory systems.
Likewise, we support our clients in reviewing and elaborating several labour policies to comply with the Federal Labour Law, such as the distribution of profit sharing in favour of the employees, home office, food coupons, travel expenses, vacations, extra hours, and others.
For the immigration aspect, we offer services that assist companies in hiring expatriates by managing the entire process of obtaining work visas and temporary residence cards. This includes handling all matters related to the relocation of expatriate families, encompassing the acquisition of Temporary Residence Cards through Family Reunification for family members.
Recognizing the inherent stress and difficulty of transitioning from one country to another, our firm is committed to making this process significantly smoother. We provide comprehensive support to expatriates and companies, starting from the moment they receive the job offer until they arrive in Mexico and secure their residence.
