Mexico
Jones Day's Mexico City Office opened in 2009 and provides legal services to domestic and global clients conducting business in Mexico and throughout the world. Sweeping regulatory reforms in recent years have led to increased interest and investment in Mexico.

We work closely, every day, with lawyers in other Jones Day offices throughout the United States and the world to ensure that we bring to bear the best resources of the Firm for our clients. Our presence in Mexico City enhances our ability to advise local, U.S., European, and Asian clients with their inbound investments into the region as well as counseling Latin American companies with respect to their international operations and capital markets activities.
