Testimonials

- ‘The Houston practice supports certain foreign direct investments made in Mexico - practicing Mexican law from this office. Their knowledge of Mexico is unparalleled, given the breadth and depth of the practice, where they cover Mexico from Houston, Monterrey, and Mexico City offices, amongst others. Furthermore, an effective law firm balances spot-on legal knowledge with relationships that are capable of getting transactions consummated from a business and practical perspective - Hogan Lovells is excellent in this regard.’
- ‘Carlos Ramos (Houston office) is the consummate lawyer - approachable, knowledgeable, agile, and, a rarity in the field, humble. His experience speaks for itself - which is highlighted by a distinguished client list and a 30 year career practicing law. It is clear from Mr. Ramos' actions that he places his clients before his firm or himself.’
