Mexico
At Snell & Wilmer, we are committed to serving our clients’ regional and international legal needs. We opened our first international office in Los Cabos, Mexico in 2008 to meet our clients’ needs in the real estate, resort, hospitality, and master-planned community industries, as well as providing a broad range of other legal services to businesses throughout Mexico. Today, we represent some of the largest and most exclusive master planned communities and resorts in the market as well as leading industrial companies in northern Mexico, uniting our international experience with our local presence to provide them with results oriented and turnkey legal services.
