DHA Profile Domestic and International Experience Our clients include Fortune 500 multinational companies, as well as Mexican publicly- and/or privately-held businesses. As a result, we are familiar with the needs and workings of both large corporations and medium and family-owned businesses. Given our proximity to the United States and the increasingly-globalized market, experience and knowledge of legal matters beyond our borders has become indispensable. Some individuals and businesses within certain geographic areas operate within a single area, seemingly without borders. In those areas, commercial transactions are often subject to a complex framework of legislation from two countries (most frequently, Mexico and the United States). DHA has experience in transactions and dispute resolution involving jurisdiction on both sides of the border, and we work frequently alongside U.S.A. law firms in creating multidisciplinary teams aimed at reaching a positive result for our clients. Besides our strategically-located offices, DHA has developed alliances with law firms in cities throughout the rest of Mexico. DHA attorneys belong to various domestic and international lawyer organizations, based on which we can offer our clients immediate contacts around the globe. https://www.nextlawnetwork.com/#GlobalReach

LABOR & BUSINESS IMMIGRATION Labor Law Definition ​ ​ Labor law or employment law intercedes the relationship between workers, employing entities, trade unions and the government. Collective labor law relates to the trilateral relation between employee, employer and union. Individual labor law refers to employees' rights at work also through the contract for work. Employment standards are social norms (in some cases also technical standards) for the minimum socially acceptable statuses under which employees or contractors are permitted to work. Labor & Employment Contact us Our firm understands that a positive working atmosphere promotes a successful labor relationship, where employees remain committed to accomplishing their employer’s goals. At DHA, we work with companies and employers in implementing strategies, policies, procedures and communications to meet their commercial objectives, while promoting employee productivity and loyalty. Many employment disputes stem from a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge of the complicated federal rules that govern employer/employee relationships. We proactively assist clients to avoid costly disputes through on-site training programs, employee benefits program and handbook preparation drafting and review, periodic client briefings and the ongoing publication of newsletters. We advise businesses ranging from medium-sized firms to companies with thousands of employees. Furthermore, we have actively participated in high-level merger transactions, closings and relocations. As a result of our intervention, many of our clients have avoided strike conflicts that would have put their companies in jeopardy. Immigration Law Definition ​ Immigration law refers to the rules established by the federal government for determining who is allowed to enter the country, and for how long. It also governs the naturalization process for those who desire to become citizens. Finally, when foreign nationals enter without permission, overstay their visit, or otherwise lose their legal status, immigration law controls how the detention and removal proceedings are carried out. ​ Business Immigration International companies operating in Mexico frequently call upon our services in order to obtain work or residence permits for their executives. We have successfully received such permits for several maquiladoras (assembly plants) or Mexican companies that hire foreign executives and/or staff.
