Mexico and United States Law Firm

Our
Services

General Civil Litigation

We have substantial experience in a wide range of commercial litigation in court or arbitration, including breach of contract disputes, fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and shareholder disputes.
Foreign Government Representation

Providing nuanced representation to foreign governments, including their commercial instrumentalities, involved in litigation. Our understanding of the applicable sovereign immunities protections, international law, and the special political considerations of our clients enables us to protect our clients’ interests in these sensitive matters.
Public Corruption

Uniquely experienced in seeking financial recovery for the redress of corruption, from bribery schemes to embezzlement. We understand all available avenues for redress, from requests for Mutual Legal Assistance, to claims as victims of crimes, to the bringing of civil claims.
Adversary Proceedings

We understand creditor lawsuits and other bankruptcy litigation. For example, we achieved a notable victory in behalf the Official Employment Related Issues Committee in the Enron Bankruptcy following a trial conducted over two months. We do not file bankruptcies or represent companies or creditors in Chapter 11 cases. We strictly handle U.S. Bankruptcy Court litigation.

Our Practice and Our Vision

Maney & González-Félix, PC practices exclusively in civil litigation, both nationally and internationally. We represent domestic and foreign companies and individuals, multinational corporations, and foreign governments in litigation and international arbitration.

We relish the complex and the difficult. We are not practicing law to relitigate the same matter endlessly. We want and seek out disputes that raise complicated legal or factual disputes.

As a result, we represent clients in a broad range of commercial litigation, focusing on the most complex or unprecedented situations. In dealing with these matters, we believe each case needs to be addressed as though it will be tried, with a thorough development of the factual and legal background. We believe that anticipating trial is the best way to achieve a fair settlement and eliminate wasted effort and unnecessary costs.
