U.S. employment and labor law firm Littler Mendelson has opened its third office in Mexico, choosing to locate an associate in the northern Mexico city of Saltillo, which is a four-hour drive from the border with Texas.

The launch comes 10 years after Littler entered Mexico with office openings in Mexico City and Monterrey, a large city just east of Saltillo. The firm said Saltillo is a growing market for several key industries in which Littler clients are active, including the automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical and agriculture sectors.
