Littler adds new team in Mexico
Littler has appointed Jorge Sales Boyoli, along with four lawyers and a paralegal to strengthen its team
Employment law and management representation firm Littler announced the addition of Jorge Sales Boyoli (pictured), along with former Bufete Sales Boyoli associates Jesús S. Escárcega Martínez, Erik Daniel García Coronel and Valeria Cutipa Hernández, and paralegal Sofía Hernández Gutiérrez, to its Mexico City office.
Erin Webber, managing director and president of Littler, said: “Since opening our Mexico City and Monterrey offices in early 2012, Mexico has been an important and growing market for Littler. Jorge’s reputation in Mexico is unmatched, as he has spent decades advising employers on complex employment matters and building an impressive practice in Mexico […] He and his colleagues have strong ties in the business and legal communities across Mexico and his additions will further enhance our robust team and continued growth in the region.”
Recognised for advising clients on individual labour litigation, collective matters and procedural labour law, Sales Boyoli has handled high-profile union matters in the electric utility, renewable energy, transportation and entertainment industries. He is also a regular client representative in collective bargaining negotiations, strikes and matters against some of the largest unions in the country.
“Jorge’s extensive experience gives him a unique ability to counsel companies, particularly on the many complex labor matters arising from recent reforms to Mexico’s Federal Labor Law,” said León Rodríguez, Littler’s Mexico Office Managing Shareholder. “His in-depth understanding of labor matters throughout the country, including the evolving landscape for collective bargaining agreements and union negotiations, will be invaluable to our local and international clients doing business in Mexico. The arrival of Jorge and his team is a tremendous addition that further strengthens the first-class service we provide to our clients.”
Meanwhile, Sales Boyoli also stated his enthusiasm for joining the firm: “I have long admired the Littler team in Mexico and internationally, and I am excited to work with León, Mónica Schiaffino, David Leal, Tania Terrazas and the firm’s many other talented attorneys in Mexico […] Littler’s presence in Mexico and around the world is vast, and I look forward to leveraging the firm’s platform to best serve my clients.”
Jorge graduated, with special mention from the Universidad Panamericana School of Law and obtained a Master’s degree in Strategic Human Capital Management from the Universidad Anáhuac del Sur. He is an active member of the International Bar Association; the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives; the Mexican Direct Selling Association; and the National Association of Corporate Lawyers, where he was National Coordinator of the Labour Law Committee. He is currently a lecturer and regularly publishes on labour, human resources and administrative issues.
His prestigious team of labour lawyers includes Jesús Escárcega, who guides clients through various aspects of litigation, from pre-litigation disputes to post-judgment settlements. In addition to defending clients in court, he advises on dispute resolution before litigation arises. Erik García is a litigator and advisor on employment law matters, including advising employers on litigation strategy, human resources issues, proper employment documentation, benefits and contract negotiations, and employee disputes. Valeria Cutipa is an advisor on labour law matters.
The addition of this team follows the arrival of senior associate Jorge Cerda Chapa to Littler’s Monterrey office in May.
