The 'Chair Law' and its implementation in the different economic sectors of Mexico

June 30, 2025 /
Season 3

In this new episode of Legal Evolution, we are joined by Juan Carlos Machorro, partner at our firm and host of the podcast, and Gonzalo de la Rosa, from our labor practice in Querétaro, to discuss the so-called "Chair Law," which came into effect on June 17, 2025. This new regulation requires companies and employers to provide chairs and rest areas for their employees and collaborators. We discuss the differentiated obligations by industry, the regulations that the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare can still issue, and how the implementation of this new requirement is playing out in the industry.
