The disciplines an investment requires.
Mexican law on foreign investment and real estate, organised by discipline across the investment. Each is practised with the same command of statute, regulation, and consequence — because these matters connect, and the gap left in one becomes the exposure of the rest.
Acquisition & Entry
Ownership begins with what can be proven. We establish a clean, defensible position before capital moves — then structure it to fit the asset, the investor, and the zone.
Due Diligence
Title chain, liens, encumbrances, co-ownership, and the seller’s authority to convey — verified, never assumed. What is found at this stage is what protects the investment when it is later questioned.
Compraventa — Direct Purchase
Direct acquisition where the law permits ownership outright, documented to hold up before the registry and on audit. The simplest path still demands the closest reading.
Fideicomiso — Restricted-Zone Bank Trust
The bank trust through which foreign investors hold residential property within Mexico’s restricted zone — fifty kilometres along the coast, one hundred along the borders — constituted, administered, and kept compliant through its term.
Corporations
Mexican companies formed to hold and operate property where the investment calls for a corporate vehicle — corporate-form selection, governance, and the foreign-investment rules that bind it.
Ejidos & Agrarian Property
Communal (ejido) land carries risk that civil title does not. We determine whether it can be lawfully acquired, and what conversion to dominio pleno requires — before commitment, not after.
Where the regulatory layers run deepest.
Development & Permitting
A real estate project lives or dies on its permits. We build within Mexico’s regulated frameworks so the development rests on authorisation, never on assumption.
Condominiums & Developments
Regime constitution, governance, and build-phase compliance for condominium, subdivision, and lot-merger projects — so that what is sold can be delivered, and delivered as it was represented.
Federal Maritime Zone (ZOFEMAT)
Concessions over the federal maritime-terrestrial zone and land reclaimed from the sea — the strip of coast that cannot be owned, only held under concession, and only on conditional terms.
Environmental & Land Use
Permitting, land-use, and environmental-impact compliance — the authorisations that decide whether a real estate project may proceed, and whether it endures beyond review.
Where capital takes shape on the coast.
Holding, Compliance & Exit
Ownership is a continuing obligation, not a closed file. We hold the structure in compliance through its life — and ensure the exit, and its tax, are decided by law, not by informal presumption.
Foreign Investment Compliance & Registry
Inbound-capital structuring and filings with the National Registry of Foreign Investment — the reporting that keeps a foreign-held investment in standing.
Corporate & Tax Strategy
Entity governance, regulatory filings, and tax exposure managed across the life of the investment — structured for what the law requires and for the investor’s advantage over time.
Capital Gains on Disposition
At the sale, the gain is taxed on legal qualification — residency, primary-residence status, documentation — not on assurances given by third parties. We build the position that withstands the tax authority’s review.
Migration & Residency
Investor and residency status that supports lawful presence and activity in Mexico — separate from property ownership, and never conferred by it.
Intellectual Property
Registration and protection of marks, trade names, and the other intellectual business assets a venture depends on in Mexico.
Labor & Social Security
Employment structuring, contracts, and compliance with social security, employer obligations, and payroll taxes for the operations a development or property sets in motion.
Disputes & Litigation
When an investment is challenged, preparation decides the outcome. We represent and defend the client across the matters a foreign investment can raise.
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Representation and defence in civil, commercial, and administrative matters — and in alternative dispute resolution — at any judicial instance. Outcomes turn on advocacy, on the law, and on the documentation built long before the dispute.
A signature is not the end — the structure must hold long after.
