Frequently asked questions

What companies ask us

Short answers to the most common questions about how we work. Don't see yours? Write to us.

What kind of companies do you work with?

We work with Mexican companies of every size and with foreign investors — from incorporation and corporate governance to strategic transactions, restructurings and capital raises.

Do you offer an in-house counsel (General Counsel) function?

Yes. Through our Fractional General Counsel service we act as your external legal department — interim or permanent — with direct partner involvement and without the cost of an in-house team.

How do you charge for your services?

We tailor the arrangement to each matter: hourly fees, fixed project fees, or a monthly retainer for ongoing support. We agree the scope and budget with you before we begin.

Do you advise on cross-border transactions?

Yes. We advise Mexican companies and foreign investors on structures that span jurisdictions, coordinating with local advisors when a transaction calls for it.

Is the first conversation free?

The first conversation to understand your matter is confidential and without obligation. Please do not share sensitive information until we confirm in writing our acceptance of the matter and the conflicts check.

Do you advise artificial-intelligence companies operating in Mexico?

Yes. We advise AI providers that develop, sell or operate artificial-intelligence systems in Mexico — applicable regulation, development and licensing agreements, intellectual property and risk management — as well as the companies adopting these technologies.

How does Mexico's data-protection law (LFPDPPP) apply to an AI project?

Mexico's federal data-protection law (LFPDPPP) applies whenever an AI system processes personal data: it requires a lawful basis, a privacy notice, security measures and transfer rules. We help design the project for compliance from day one, including sensitive data and automated decision-making.

What is your experience in telecommunications?

The firm has advised telecommunications companies in Mexico for years on regulatory and transactional matters: concessions and authorizations, compliance before the regulator, specialized contracts and deal structuring. That regulatory experience underpins our technology and AI practice.

Can you act as ongoing counsel for a technology or AI startup?

Yes. Through our Fractional General Counsel service we operate as the legal department of technology and AI startups: customer and vendor contracts, data protection, intellectual property, capital raises and corporate governance, with partners directly involved.
