The firm was founded in 1981 by Fermín Cortés, with a clear focus on delivering precise, reliable legal counsel grounded in technical rigor and long-term client relationships.

In 2003, leadership transitioned to David Cortés, marking the beginning of a new stage defined by strategic growth and a broader vision of the firm’s role in complex transactions.

A defining step in this evolution came with the incorporation of Christopher Valmont, who introduced a strong emphasis on financial and real estate structuring.

Shortly thereafter, Patricia Arriaga joined the firm, strengthening its regulatory and tax capabilities.
Together, these additions transformed the firm into a more integrated and strategically oriented platform, capable of addressing increasingly sophisticated matters.
