Our mission is to provide legal advice of the highest quality that adds value to our clients, all with the best timing and at reasonable rates.

CAYAD – Background

CAYAD – Philosophy

CAYAD is a specialized law firm that provides its clients with the most efficient and professional services, through the knowledge and expertise of its partners and associates, in the different legal areas each of them practices.

We work under a service philosophy founded on ethical and efficiency principles, pursuing to grow together with our clients; hence, we solely and always work focusing on their best interests, leaving aside any personal or economic short term goals, thus accomplishing long term relationships that continue to develop as our clients grow.

CAYAD – Pro Bono

We see Pro Bono work as integral to the professional and personal development of our legal staff. Within our firm, our lawyers have the opportunity to undertake pro bono matters that connect them to communities in Mexico as they provide legal services to those in need. We strongly believe that pro bono legal activity is in the public interest as well as in the professional and personal interest and development of our attorneys. Accordingly, we sponsor and promote participation in pro bono work.

CAYAD – International

Since we are aware of the globalization effect that the business world is currently experiencing, we are integrated as an international law firm. Hence, all of our lawyers are bilingual and, in several cases, they have obtained graduate degrees abroad.

Taking into consideration our client’s needs, CAYAD is a member of various international networks of independent international law firms, in order to provide comprehensive services not only in Mexico but in any jurisdiction where the business of our clients may take place; trough which we provide services to our clients in several regions in a specialized and comprehensive manner.

We provide services to a large percentage of international clients with the same enthusiasm that we do for our national clients, for their domestic business, as well as for their multinational or foreign transactions, whether directly or through our affiliated law firms throughout the world.
