Katz & Gudiño Abogados

What Katz & Gudiño Abogados does

Katz & Gudiño Abogados is a privately held Mexican law firm headquartered in Cuajimalpa, Ciudad de México, with approximately 19 employees. It was formed through the alliance of two predecessor practices, Katz, Benavides, Chávez y Rodríguez and JGC Consultores, to deliver integrated criminal law solutions under a single brand. The firm operates physical offices in Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, and Mérida, and is supplemented by a correspondent network across the interior of the Mexican Republic, providing nationwide single-country coverage.

The firm's practice is anchored in complex criminal litigation (litigio complejo penal) and extends across civil and commercial litigation, family law, domestic violence matters, constitutional amparo proceedings, corporate crime prevention and detection, anti-money laundering compliance under the Federal Law for Prevention and Identification of Operations with Illicit Proceeds, international extradition, and sentence execution. It serves both natural persons and legal entities, including foreign clients, with named industry exposure to financial institutions, insurance institutions, and transport companies.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a quote-based model, with pricing varying by case complexity, matter type, and client requirements. The go-to-market is sales-led direct engagement through the three offices and the correspondent network, supported by content marketing across a website blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and a video capsule series analyzing recent SCJN jurisprudence and legal reforms. There are no disclosed funding events, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no technology platform beyond standard digital channels.
