In March 1965, attorneys Luis Santos de la Garza and Eduardo A. Elizondo (1922- 2005) founded this law firm under the name of Bufete Santos de la Garza Elizondo, S.C., where each contributed twenty years of professional experience to materialize a project they had contemplated for some time--a law firm that would basically meet the following objectives:

a) Provide institutionalized legal assistance not restricted to personal contingencies;

b) Provide general legal counsel which would include significant specialized fields such as family law, corporate, finance, international, and tax law;

c) Provide an earnest, honest, and efficient service engaged in an ongoing updating of abilities.

After 40 years of a collegiate professional endeavor, we feel satisfied for having fulfilled the initial purpose of our founders for an organization that is both capable and trained to meet the highest standards of professional service.

The number and qualifications of the partners, associates, and collaborators of our organization, whose resumes follow, do not only represent a higher capacity in the volume of cases we can attend, but also a larger variety and sophistication of the services we render to respond to the new situations in Mexico and around the world.
