Our Origins

Our story began 90 years ago with the founding of the Firm by Luis J. Creel Luján (1912–1977).

Upon completing his legal studies, Luis J. Creel Luján established an independent practice focused on representing foreign investors in the mining sector. From the outset, the Firm concentrated on complex, cross-border matters, an approach that would, over time, become embedded in its DNA.

From modest offices on Avenida Juárez in downtown Mexico City, and with a team of four lawyers, the Firm has steadily evolved into an organization with a presence in Mexico City, Monterrey and Europe, through its representative office in Madrid.

Over the past 90 years, we have participated in many of the most significant projects and transactions shaping the Mexican market; from the formation of industrial groups and brokerage houses during the 1970s and 1980s, through the debt restructuring and privatization processes of the 1990s, to the more recent structuring of sophisticated mergers and acquisitions and private equity transactions, as well as the development of innovative and highly sophisticated financial products.

Luis J. Creel Luján laid the foundations of a tradition that continues to define and reshape the Firm. Building on that legacy, we have developed a practice distinguished by excellence, sophistication and creativity, as well as by our ability to anticipate risks, advise on complex matters, and effectively represent and defend our clients’ interests in the resolution of disputes.
