International Expertise

Aragon advises Latin American clients seeking to enter or expand their presence in the United States and/or Central Europe. The firm likewise advises US and European clients seeking to enter the Latin American market or grow their existing presence. This includes building effective compliance programs that address a rapidly changing regulatory environment. The 2025 designation of eight Mexican Cartels as terrorist organizations under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), for example, expands the regulatory framework for US and Mexican law for companies doing business with Mexico. The Monterrey-based law firm of Peña Mouret Abogados serves as our Mexican Co-Counsel, ensuring alignment with best practices under both US and Mexican law. The reach of our Latin America Practice extends beyond Mexico into much of South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Three Aragon attorneys are either fluent or native Spanish speakers, and the firm possesses a long-standing and active network of local counsel in Panama, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia.

Another important component of our outbound Latin America work involves assisting Latin America-based tech startup companies—usually at the request of prospective US angel investors or sources of venture capital financing—to establish a corporate presence in the United States or offshore to facilitate investment by US and European LPs.
