PRACTICE AREA

Foreign Investment

Mexico has attracted a significant share of foreign investment in Latin America in recent years, with the Bajío region concentrating a substantial portion of that investment across the automotive, metalworking and aerospace sectors.

FOCUSING

Real

Opportunities

Mexico offers real opportunities for foreign investment, particularly in the industrial, aerospace and automotive sectors in the Bajío region. It also has a specific regulatory framework, sectoral restrictions, authorization requirements from the National Foreign Investment Commission (CNIE), periodic reporting obligations, and ownership rules that determine the legal structure that allows companies with foreign capital to operate under optimal conditions.

We advise foreign investors on selecting the most appropriate investment vehicle for their operations in Mexico (S.A., S.A.P.I., S. de R.L., or others), compliance with the National Foreign Investment Registry and with the CNIE where applicable, negotiation of agreements with local partners, and structuring of transactions in regulated sectors. We have an active network of correspondent firms in more than 160 jurisdictions to coordinate the local perspective on each transaction from both sides.

Executives at Mexican companies taking on foreign capital who need to structure the transaction correctly. Procurement managers or operations directors at multinationals with suppliers or plants in the Bajío. Investment funds with interest in Mexican assets or companies.
