About

Provided by Contexto Legal Abogados

Contexto Legal’s Corporate and M&A, provides legal counsel regarding international agreements for high-value, high-risk industries, such as floral, aeronautic, healthcare, maritime transportation, energy, and technology; as well as giving legal counsel on day to day corporate and legal issues, being highly experienced in designing and executing restructuring schemes that seek to guarantee our clients not only full legal compliance but also corporate and tax incentives. Considering this, we take satisfaction in giving our clients efficient and effective legal solutions on different corporate matters, including counsel to both local and international clients regarding the structuring, sale, or acquisition of companies, providing innovative strategies with the highest quality and customer service standards, among other issues.

Our first intention is to create long-term relationships with our clients, and to give them confidence and reassurance of our commitment to give them the best possible counsel in all legal matters, is for this reason that most of the clients that started working with us over sixteen years ago are still active clients of the Firm.
