The Firm provides soft - landing, strategic and corporate legal services to all relevant agents involved in the automotive industry, ranging from manufacturers and auto - assembly companies to original - equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including tier one and tier two parts and service suppliers.

Our work generally commences in providing soft landing solutions to our foreign clients, where we assist on their business formation in Mexico, including the design and structuring of Mexican legal vehicles for such purposes, the filing and undertaking of initial legal procedures (e.g. tax, labour and immigration) as well as support on ancillary practices, such as intellectual property, customs and general compliance of Mexican regulation, applicable to this industry. In addition, we often advise our clients on the benefits of, and assist them for the qualification and registration under, the Mexican IMMEX and Prosec programmes, where they can opt for tax and customs benefits for the importation of raw materials and the export of finished products.

We aim to provide a comprehensive support in all the relevant aspects of our clients’ operations, advising on logistic solutions, warehouse and facility transactions (including pre-occupancy, leases, real estate financing and sale & leaseback transactions), joint venture undertakings, mergers-and-acquisitions strategies, and general contracting matters, with clients and service providers. We can further address strategic challenges, such as governmental dealings and domestic and international expansion. The firm has successfully advised certain players in their international affairs, including the effects of the ACE 55 treaty in Mexico and Latin America.
