Who are we

Our Overall Experience and Work

In its beginnings, Vazquez Tercero y Asociados focused on institutional industrial policy and foreign trade matters. However, since Mexico started to open its economy in the mid 80’s, our experience of work has been in international trade area. We consider ourselves to be Mexico’s most respected and influent firm in international trade practice in Mexico. Several of our professionals participated during GATT accession negotiations for the government of Mexico, and were advisers for several major industrial associations during NAFTA negotiations. We have played a major role in the creation of leading associations, export programs and liberalization of Mexican economy.
 
 We serve a diversity of clients, from highly experienced companies to firms seeking their first operations overseas. We are dedicated to help companies throughout the world to compete and have free access in the Mexican market. We are proud of being trade and customs advisers to major national and foreign associations.
 
 We represent our clients before all Mexican Ministries dealing with international trade matters, primarily before the Ministry of Economy, Ministry of the Treasury, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Foreign Relations, Ministry of the Interior, as well as other Governmental Institutions and Commissions.
 
 We attend trade and customs controversies having an effect on our clients and challenge adverse determinations before the Federal Fiscal Court, District Courts, Federal Circuit Tribunals and the Supreme Court of Justice. The firm also practices under alternative dispute settlement mechanisms provided in international free trade agreements to which Mexico is a part therein, among them: NAFTA, EUFTA, G3, Chile, Costa Rica, Bolivia. Vazquez Tercero y Asociados is also prepared to advise private companies on WTO (DSO) Disputes.
 
 Because we have an international practice, we have correspondent offices in major cities in Mexico, the Americas, Europe and the United States, who can provide for local assistance.
