Business Formation and Corporate Structuring in Mexico
Selecting the right business structure is one of the most critical decisions for companies entering the Mexican market. The legal entity you choose will impact your tax obligations, liability exposure, and ability to raise capital. We assist businesses in forming and structuring legal entities such as:
- Sociedad Anónima (S.A.) – A corporate entity similar to a corporation in the U.S., with shareholders enjoying limited liability.
- Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (S. de R.L.) – A limited liability company (LLC) offering flexibility and protections for its members.
- Branch Offices and Representative Offices – For foreign companies looking to establish a presence in Mexico without incorporating a separate entity.
Our firm advises clients on the advantages and disadvantages of each structure, ensuring they select the most suitable option for their business goals.
Corporate Governance and Regulatory Compliance in Mexico
Operating a business in Mexico requires adherence to corporate governance standards and regulatory frameworks established by entities such as the Secretaría de Economía (Ministry of Economy), the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT), and industry-specific regulators. We assist clients with:
- Corporate Governance Compliance – Drafting bylaws, shareholder agreements, and board governance policies to ensure corporate stability.
- Regulatory Approvals and Licensing – Navigating industry-specific regulatory requirements, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and real estate.
- Foreign Investment Regulations – Ensuring compliance with Mexico’s Ley de Inversión Extranjera (Foreign Investment Law) and sector-specific ownership restrictions.
Our firm helps businesses mitigate legal risks by developing proactive compliance strategies tailored to their industries.
Drafting and Negotiating Commercial Agreements
Strong commercial agreements are the foundation of successful business operations in Mexico. We assist companies in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating supplier and distribution agreements, structuring agreements that protect your interests and ensure smooth supply chain operations. Our firm also plays a key role in facilitating partnerships such as joint ventures and strategic alliance agreements that leverage local market knowledge and resources. Our lawyers are skilled and experienced in negotiating and drafting cross-border contracts as well, seeing to it that contracts comply with both Mexican and international business laws to avoid legal disputes.
We ensure that every contract is enforceable under Mexican law and protects our clients from unforeseen legal and financial risks.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Transactions in Mexico
Expanding through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) or restructuring an existing business in Mexico requires careful due diligence and legal expertise. Our firm provides:
- M&A Transaction Structuring – Advising on deal structures that maximize financial and strategic benefits.

Cross-Border Business Operations and Investment Strategies

We assist businesses in structuring investments and joint ventures, helping companies establish cross-border partnerships and investment strategies. Our firm takes tax laws and compliance into consideration, advising on international tax treaties, transfer pricing, and tax-efficient business structures.
