Disputes & Litigation
Real estate disputes in Mexico — defending your position
Most cases are won long before the hearing — in the paperwork.
When a property deal goes wrong, the outcome isn’t decided by who’s right in principle. It’s decided by the law, by good representation, and by the records you built long before the fight.
We represent foreign owners in the real estate disputes that come up in Mexico — bad title, broken contracts, developers who don’t deliver, and people who won’t leave a property that’s yours. We defend your position, and when it’s called for, we go on the offensive.
Where we represent you
- Title & ownership. Disputes over who owns what, boundaries, co-ownership, and challenges that reach a trust or company holding.
- Contracts & developers. Broken purchase, construction, and pre-sale contracts — making the other side perform, or pay.
- Getting property back. Recovering possession, evictions, and action against people occupying property that isn’t theirs.
- Fraud & collection. Going after fraud, and enforcing judgments and guarantees so a win on paper turns into a real result.
- Federal matters. Amparo and administrative cases where a federal act or authority is involved.
Why us
In a dispute, who your counsel is loyal to weighs as much as the law itself. Ours runs to one place only — the client — with nothing on the other side of the table pulling the other way. And because these fights usually turn on what sits beneath the contract — the trust, the ejido history, the condominium rules, the federal zone — that is where we argue, not just on the surface. Foreign owners stand equal to anyone in a Mexican court; the difference is who’s standing with them. In practice since 2001, in your language, with the discretion these matters need.
