Vazquez Tercero & Zepeda appointed as Alliott Group’s exclusive law firm member in Mexico

Alliott Group, the international alliance of independent professional services firms, is pleased to announce the admission of Vazquez Tercero & Zepeda (VTZ) as their exclusive law member in Mexico. The firm has offices in nine cities including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Leon, Monterrey, Tijuana, Reynosa, Matamoros, Puebla, Los Cabos and recently opened a trade and investment promotion office in Hong Kong, China.

Established in 1973, the leading law firm is headed up by Managing Partner Mr Adrian Vazquez. The firm has two additional equity partners, nine local partners and 27 associates and support staff, and therefore a total team of 39 people who offer exceptional legal services in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Chinese.

With over 45 years of experience, the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 legal directories, among others, have ranked VTZ consistently over the last decade as one of Mexico’s most specialised law firms in international and customs law.

Adrian Vazquez comments:

“Our services are intended to be a strategic tool for the success of our clients’ business, particularly, in their international trade-related operations. Companies, trade associations and governments rely on our experience in trade and international matters. Our strategy for the new decade is to strengthen our tax law practice by having acquired a tax boutique firm in late 2019.

“This level of expertise positions us perfectly to help clients to master the inherent complexities of Mexico’s regulatory landscape. With our Alliott Group membership, we are now even better prepared to support and advise foreign clients investing in Mexico and our clients who are doing business internationally.”

Alliott Group COO Giles Brake adds:

“VTZ’s international expertise and focus on opportunities in the global marketplace makes them a perfect fit for Alliott Group. Adrian’s firm demonstrated their impressive credentials, appetite for international growth and business acumen during the selection process.

“They are an important cornerstone of our strategy to build a network of business law and accounting firms that will collaborate to drive cross border business and ensure high levels of service for clients, wherever in the world they are doing business.

“VTZ join at a good moment in Alliott Group’s 40-year history with the group growing organically at a steady rate and with Estudio Nunes & Asociados Abogados and Zancan, Almeida e Silva Advogados having joined in the last six months in Argentina and Brazil respectively. We extend a very warm welcome to all of the staff at VTZ.”
