About

Provided by Ecija Abogados

ECIJA's Corporate/M&A practice is recognized internationally by Chambers and Partners and Legal 500, advising companies, funds and investors on complex corporate transactions, acquisitions, structured financing and regional expansion. This experience translates into Mexico through comprehensive advice to local and foreign companies investing, incorporating or restructuring operations in one of Latin America's largest economies, currently benefiting from a strong nearshoring trend that is driving foreign direct investment into manufacturing, logistics and technology.

The team assists with due diligence, drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, corporate governance under the Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and corporate financing, with particular attention to foreign investment rules, IMMEX and maquila regimes, and antitrust clearance before the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (COFECE) where transactions so require. The practice combines deep knowledge of the Mexican legal and regulatory environment, including obligations under the USMCA/T-MEC, with the methodology and international standards ECIJA applies across its more than twenty jurisdictions.

The firm's multidisciplinary approach integrates the corporate perspective with tax, labour, competition, data protection and intellectual property advice, offering local and international clients practical, results-oriented solutions.
