Artificial Intelligence
Legal services for AI providers and adopters in Mexico
We advise artificial-intelligence companies that develop, sell or operate AI systems in Mexico, and the organizations that adopt them: applicable regulation, data protection (Mexico's LFPDPPP), development and licensing agreements, intellectual property and risk management. Our regulatory background in telecommunications and technology lets us guide AI providers through a fast-evolving legal landscape.
We work with two profiles: AI providers — Mexican or foreign companies that develop, sell or operate artificial-intelligence systems in Mexico — and organizations adopting these tools that need contracts and risks under control.
For providers, that means understanding which rules already apply to their product today — data protection, consumer law, intellectual property, sector regulation — and preparing for the AI framework taking shape. For adopters, it means procurement and deployment agreements that allocate liability clearly.
For AI training and adoption we work in alliance with Lizardi Consulting.
How we work
Regulatory counsel for AI providers offering products and services in Mexico, including the emerging AI regulatory framework.
Data protection (LFPDPPP) for AI projects: lawful bases, privacy notices, transfers and sensitive data.
Development, licensing and deployment agreements for AI systems, with clear allocation of liability and intellectual property.
Ongoing outside counsel (fractional general counsel) for technology and AI startups and companies.
Frequently asked questions
Does Mexico have an artificial-intelligence law?
There is no general AI law in force yet, but rules that already apply to AI systems do exist: personal-data protection (LFPDPPP), consumer protection, intellectual property and sector regulation, plus legislative initiatives under discussion.
Does the LFPDPPP apply to my AI system?
If the system's training, operation or outputs involve personal data of people in Mexico, yes. That means a lawful basis, a privacy notice, rules for sensitive data and transfers, among other obligations.
What should an AI development or licensing agreement cover?
At a minimum: ownership of intellectual property — including models and training data —, allocation of liability for the system's outputs, service levels, confidentiality and the processing of personal data.
Can you support us on an ongoing basis, not just per project?
Yes. Many technology clients engage us as their outside general counsel (fractional general counsel), so regulatory and contractual matters are handled as the product evolves.
