Luis Avila – Partner/Attorney
Varnum LLP
México

I was born in Mexico City and lived there, with the exception of 4 years in Philadelphia, until I was almost 18 years old. From there, I moved to Miami, Florida where I graduated from High School. I then moved to Grand Rapids for college and then to Ann Arbor for law school and then Europe to work for the United Nations in Switzerland.
I eventually moved back to Grand Rapids to make West Michigan my permanent home. Early on in my legal career, I worked for non-profit and multinational organizations that focused on social justice, human rights and civil rights.
Thus, even today in my role as a labor and employment attorney, my focus is always on social justice.
I work hard every day to empower my Latino community throughout West Michigan.

Nací en la Ciudad de México y viví allí, a excepción de 4 años en Filadelfia, hasta casi los 18 años. De allí me mudé a Miami, Florida, donde me gradué de la escuela secundaria. Luego me mudé a Grand Rapids para ir a la universidad y luego a Ann Arbor para estudiar derecho y luego a Europa para trabajar para las Naciones Unidas en Suiza. Finalmente regresé a Grand Rapids para hacer del oeste de Michigan mi hogar permanente.
Al principio de mi carrera jurídica, trabajé para organizaciones multinacionales y sin fines de lucro que se centraban en la justicia social, los derechos humanos y los derechos civiles.
Por lo tanto, incluso hoy en mi rol como abogado laboralista, mi enfoque siempre está en la justicia social.
Trabajo duro todos los días para empoderar a mi comunidad latina en todo el oeste de Michigan.
