Mexico's labor system requires conciliation before litigation. We represent you vigorously at this stage to reach a fair resolution.
If a fair settlement can't be reached, we're fully prepared to take your case to the labor courts with a strong, evidence-backed case.
Under Mexican Federal Labor Law, employees terminated without just cause are entitled to severance pay including three months of salary, 20 days' salary for each year worked, a seniority premium of 12 days per year, and any accrued benefits (vacation, bonus, etc.). Contact us immediately — we can help you secure the maximum compensation you're owed.
Since 2019, Mexico's labor reform requires that all labor disputes first go through a mandatory conciliation stage before litigation. A government conciliator attempts to help both parties reach an agreement. If no agreement is reached, the case proceeds to labor court. We represent you throughout both stages.
Employers are legally required to pay agreed wages on time. If your employer fails to pay, you have the right to claim unpaid wages plus interest. In certain cases, wage withholding can constitute a valid cause for you to resign with full severance rights. Document everything and contact us for a free evaluation.
Termination in Mexico is highly regulated. You must have documented just cause (as defined in Article 47 of the LFT) and follow proper procedures. Otherwise, you risk costly reinstatement orders or severance payments. We guide employers through legally sound termination processes, including resignation agreements, justified dismissals, and risk assessments.
The conciliation stage is typically resolved within 30-45 days. If the case proceeds to litigation, it can take 4 to 12 months depending on complexity and court schedules. Many cases settle during conciliation. We'll give you a realistic timeline specific to your situation during your consultation.
Labor law matters are time-sensitive. Whether you're facing a workplace dispute or need proactive legal guidance as an employer, early action leads to better outcomes. Let's talk.
