Basham

What Basham does

Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C. is a full-service Mexican law firm founded in 1912/1913 and headquartered in Mexico City, with additional offices in Monterrey, Querétaro, and Silao (Bajío region). The firm serves domestic and international corporations, multinational companies, and business entities operating in Mexico and Latin America, delivering legal counsel across 16+ practice areas including corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, tax, labor and employment, intellectual property, arbitration and dispute resolution, energy, real estate, banking and finance, foreign trade and customs, antitrust, immigration, privacy, and criminal law. The firm is the exclusive Mexican representative of Lex Mundi, the world's leading network of independent law firms (100+ countries), and holds memberships in Ius Laboris (50+ countries, 1,400+ labor lawyers), WSG, and Fraudnet (ICC).

The firm's underlying technology stack is minimal and not a differentiator: it operates as a traditional professional services firm with no disclosed proprietary technology platform. A mobile application (Basham Abogados) is offered via iOS and Android, powered by third-party legal content provider vlex, providing client-facing access to legal resources rather than a core production system. The firm holds no patents or proprietary technology assets; its competitive position rests on partner expertise, institutional reputation, and international network membership.

Basham generates revenue through professional services fees structured as hourly billing, fixed fees for specific engagements, and retainer arrangements for ongoing client relationships. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to matter complexity, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The go-to-market model is partner-led direct engagement with enterprise clients, supplemented by international network referrals and pipeline generated by Tier-1 directory rankings (Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, IFLR1000, Best Lawyers, Who's Who Legal). The firm operates a pro bono subsidiary, the Basham Foundation (established 2007), serving nonprofit organizations and social entrepreneurs, which functions as a community-relations channel rather than a revenue line. The firm is structured as a Mexican sociedad civil (S.C.) professional partnership, is privately held by its partners, and has maintained independence for 112+ years with no disclosed parent company, institutional investment, or public listing.
