01
Agrarian & real estate · Our signature

Property Due Diligence

Title, liens, debts, and the ejido/agrarian check most buyers skip. We verify at the source, never the seller's folder. Verdict in writing: proceed, renegotiate, or walk away.

02
For companies · Nearshoring

Nearshoring Softlanding

The legal skeleton for your Mexico operation: entity, industrial land with agrarian verification, labor, permits, water rights and executive immigration. Your own Mexican entity, built and run.

03
Litigation · When deals go wrong

Litigation in Mexico

Agrarian disputes before the specialized courts (our home turf), successions and family matters, commercial conflicts, and claims against the State (responsabilidad patrimonial). Always with an honest written case assessment first: we tell you when not to litigate.

04
Estate planning

Mexican Wills for Foreign Owners

Your foreign will may not protect what you own here. A Mexican will, coordinated with your fideicomiso beneficiaries, saves your heirs years of cross-border probate.

05
Contracts

Contract Review

Purchase agreements, leases, construction contracts: clause by clause in English, with redlines and the negotiation points that protect you.

06
Doing business

Company Formation

S.A. vs S. de R.L., foreign-ownership clauses, RFC, investment registry, and the agrarian check if your business touches land. 100% foreign-owned, done right.

07
Immigration

Immigration Support

Temporary and permanent residency, work authorization, family routes, in the right order, including the sequencing mistake that costs six months.
