About the FBM
The FBM was created in 2002 under the auspices of the BMA, as an initiative to bring the legal profession closer to those in need, becoming one of the most important pro bono projects in Mexico and Latin America. In order to professionalize the funding of the foundation and thus fulfill its important work, the FBM Board was created, with the participation of a group of distinguished lawyers, members of some of the most important law firms in Mexico.
Gonzalez Calvillo and pro bono work
We are a leading firm in the rendering of legal services in our country, and are aware of the needs of a significant number of people in the country.
In such regards, we are aware of the duty to return to society the much it has given us, which has led us to be permanently active in serving it through various initiatives, including the creation of Fundación Gonzalez Calvillo, a civil association with the aim of strengthening Rule of Law in Mexico.
