75 years of social commitment to the renewal of justice in Mexico

Santamarina + Steta was founded 75 years ago and, since then, we have witnessed a leap forward in time towards the future of the renewal of justice in Mexico. Today, we proudly celebrate the fruits of that social commitment.

The firm's beginnings date back to 1947, a time characterized by social and political advances that forged the country's economic growth. At that time, international companies found optimal conditions in Mexico to expand their businesses, a challenge that our founding partners took on with enthusiasm: Fausto Miranda, Augustin Santamarina and Juan Steta. 

Known by colleagues, clients, family and friends as skilled, professional and influential men, their voices offered advice to the most important clients and companies of the day, some of whom we continue to represent today.

I also extend my warmest congratulations to those of us who continue to forge the legacy of those generations that preceded us. I am confident that, as resilient in the new contemporary era, we will cement the inspiration for the generations to come. The future of the Firm is promising, and with our history as a watershed of quality and experience, we will write a new chapter with efficiency, innovation and synergy, a transformation that you are all witnessing today.

Because we live in such a changing environment, our legal services are becoming more specialized, aware and responsible. Our partners and associates aim to offer comprehensive solutions that bring together the best of the traditional process and the expertise that technological optimization provides.

And it is that, in this new organizational culture, Santamarina + Steta will always lead by example. We start from home with innovative practices that generate a change of thinking and paradigms in society. With values ​​focused on people, putting both the client and the collaborators at the forefront of our priorities. And generating strategies that are kind to the environment and human rights.

To be part of the solution, the first step is to leave a mark on the main social, political and opinion actors that govern the country's agenda. For this reason, our evolution starts from books and the study of laws and becomes market intelligence data and insights of social, political and business interest that become an essential part of the conversation of the new digital media, in order to generate legal certainty that gives stability to the Rule of Law and to Mexico. 

Along the way, we will train new legal professionals who will promote the exercise of good economic, labor, business and sustainable practices within and outside this Firm.

I want to make one thing clear: today, the legal services market is governed by new needs and demands, and we will not hesitate to update our action tools to meet them. Santamarina + Steta is stronger than ever and we will continue to adopt more and better legal solutions to create bonds between today's corporate leaders and the generations of tomorrow.
