Ngo, Miguérès, Doporto, Beltrán & Legorreta, S.C

Ngo, Miguérès, Doporto, Beltrán & Legorreta, S.C., is an international and dynamic law firm with proven experience. Our goal is to assist our clients in finding the best solutions to their problems by giving our in-depth and updated knowledge of law. Our organization has European and Mexican roots. We are the result of the partnership of three groups of lawyers: Ngo, Miguérès & Associés, a French firm established in 1978; P&A Consultores, a Spanish firm established in 1987; and Doporto, Beltrán & Legorreta,
a Mexican firm created in 1998. Together, we have formed the NMDB&L-P&A worldwide alliance.

Global Service

The result is a unified group of multicultural lawyers, with access to privileged legal knowledge in 4 continents, through offices in 19 cities in 14 countries, with skilled teams that can assist clients in their language and who understand their local needs. Our Mexico City office is a leader in the assistance of European companies doing business in Mexico and has a strong presence in the assistance of other foreign companies in the country. We are conscious of how important legal fees can become for our clients and we have adopted flexible billing schemes which adapt to our clients’ needs and that allow for the existence of one global fee negotiation point worldwide.

Our Clients

Through its existence, our team of professionals has been trusted by many of the top 500 companies in the world and by many other smaller companies that stand out and such trust is something we never take for granted. Regardless of the size of our clients’ businesses, our compromise to dedicated and creative assistance is always the same. We also provide assistance to several charitable institutions in the search for a better society.
We are always interested in giving back to the community. We consider that we have reached success with a client when a client calls to compliment on a work well done or when a client is confident enough to refer our firm to someone else.

Practical Solutions

One of the main differences of our firm is our understanding of the fact that our clients do not look for complex answers to their complex problems. We know that our clients need practical and sound solutions to their problems. We apply our creativity and the combined legal experience of our more than 200 professionals worldwide.
