Practice highlights

Mata & Asociados defeated the Mexican Social Security (IMSS) in federal court, in a dispute where the IMSS characterized over 500,000 distributors of our direct selling client as employees. The federal court ruled that there was no employment relationship between our client and the distributors.

Mata & Asociados assisted a client in winding up their Mexican operations, terminating more than 150 employees and terminating the collective labor agreement with the union. We consider our representation as a success because no employee filed a lawsuit against the company.

Mata & Asociados defeated a worker’s union in state court, in a dispute where the union served a strike notice to our client, threatening to shut down our client’s operations. Even though our client had failed to enter into a collective labor agreement prior to the strike notice, and against all odds, Mata & Asociados was able to get the court to order the union to cancel the scheduled strike.
