MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP is strategically expanding the Litigation Practice in its Mexico office with the addition of Shareholder Alejandro Ostos Fulda.
Ostos, along with a team of three associates and one law clerk, are joining Greenberg Traurig from Bufete Ostos, one of the best-known litigation boutique firms in Mexico City. Founded in 1918, the firm was consolidated by Don Armando Ostos Luzuriaga, and specializes in constitutional, civil, commercial, and administrative litigation. It will continue to operate under the leadership of his father, Alejandro Ostos de la Garza.
"Adding a team of experienced civil and commercial litigation attorneys, led by Alejandro, who is well known in Mexico's legal community, is the natural progression in the expansion of our existing administrative litigation team led by Joselino Morales López," said José Raz Guzmán, managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig's Mexico City office and co-chair of the firm's Latin America Practice. "Alejandro and his team bring a strong commitment to excellence in client service, continuing our strategic growth to meet client demand."
Ostos focuses his practice on civil and commercial litigation, and constitutional litigation covering a broad array of matters that include bankruptcy, infrastructure, energy, real estate, and intellectual property. "His addition will strengthen our bench and expand our ability to represent corporations and individuals in complex litigation matters in federal and state courts, as well as in arbitration proceedings in Mexico and throughout Latin America," stated Juan Manuel González Bernal, administrative shareholder of the Mexico City office.
Greenberg Traurig's Mexico office has entered into a non-exclusive alliance with Bufete Ostos on select matters. "This non-exclusive alliance will combine the strength of a global litigation powerhouse with the unique local knowledge of one of the most prestigious litigation boutique in Mexico," said Raz Guzmán and Ostos de la Garza in a joint statement.
The expansion of the litigation team in Mexico is part of Greenberg Traurig's commitment to continue growing its nationally ranked Litigation Practice in the United States and worldwide. The firm has added litigators in the United States, London, and Milan in the past year to meet client demand.
"We welcome Alejandro as a stellar addition to the Greenberg Traurig team. His knowledge and experience in litigation will be of value to many firm clients around the world in our globally connected and growing marketplace," said Lori G. Cohen and Jeff E. Scott, co-chairs of the firm's Litigation Practice.
"I look forward to blending my team's local experience and understanding of the Mexican legal market with Greenberg Traurig's global network," Ostos said. "The firm's collaborative culture will allow us to tap new resources to better serve our clients and ensure they are receiving top-notch advice on any litigation or dispute resolution issues."
Ostos' work in the courtroom is complemented by his work in the classroom. He serves as a graduate law professor at several of Mexico City's most prestigious law schools, including Escuela Libre de Derecho and Universidad Panamericana, where he teaches constitutional law, intellectual property disputes and remedies, and a case law workshop that analyzes novel interpretations of civil and commercial statutes.
He earned an LL.M. from Harvard University Law School and his J.D. from Escuela Libre de Derecho in Mexico City. He was listed by the Leaders League for Arbitration in 2021.
The associates joining the firm are Juan Carlos Soto, Mauricio Rueda, and Erick Peregrina. Francisco Mañón is joining as a law clerk.
