Corporate Law · Company Law · Corporate Governance
Legal structures for sound decisions, sustainable growth and business continuity.
We advise companies and shareholders on the formation, organization and evolution of their business entities, with documents and rules aligned with the way the business actually operates.
Business perspective
A company’s legal structure should evolve with the business.
A clear corporate structure defines authority, documents decisions and reduces uncertainty. It also supports the admission of new shareholders, financing transactions, reorganizations and long-term business continuity.
We advise Mexican companies, business groups and foreign investors from the selection of the appropriate legal entity through day-to-day corporate operations. Each recommendation considers ownership, commercial objectives and the level of control the organization requires.

Frequently asked questions
Initial answers for a better-informed decision.
What is the difference between company law and corporate governance?
Company law governs the formation, operation and transformation of the entity. Corporate governance organizes decision-making, oversight, controls and the relationship among shareholders, directors and officers.
Can a company with outdated books or minutes be brought into compliance?
In many cases, yes. The legal and documentary situation must first be reviewed to determine which actions may be formalized, ratified or corrected and in what order.
How often should corporate records be reviewed?
They should be reviewed periodically and whenever there are changes in shareholders, capital, management, powers of attorney, domicile, activities or the structure of the business.
Do you also advise family-owned businesses?
Yes. We can structure rules for management, family participation, succession, transfers of interests and mechanisms designed to prevent deadlock or disputes.
Can you assist foreign investors?
Yes. We advise on the selection of the corporate structure and coordinate the corporate steps required to establish or reorganize business operations in Mexico.
