What does a corporate lawyer do?
A corporate lawyer handles the legal structure of a company throughout its entire existence. They incorporate companies, draft and review contracts, grant powers of attorney, prepare minutes of meetings, and ensure that shareholder decisions are documented in accordance with the General Law of Commercial Companies.
Their work is primarily preventative: they ensure the company operates with clear rules among partners, management, and third parties, reducing conflicts and providing legal support for every transaction. When a dispute arises, they help resolve it based on the company's bylaws and the law.

The most frequently asked questions about Corporate Lawyers
Which type of company is better for me, SA de CV or S. de RL?+
It depends on the number of partners, how they want to divide control, and how flexible the management needs to be. A limited liability company (S. de RL) typically works well for projects with few partners, while a corporation (SA de CV) is better suited to structures with more investors. In our initial consultation, we'll review your specific situation and explain the differences in simple terms.
Do I need to go to a notary to set up my company?+
Yes. The formation of a business entity is formalized through a public deed before a notary public or broker and then registered in the Public Registry of Commerce. We prepare the articles of incorporation, gather the necessary requirements, and guide you through the entire process.
How often should I prepare meeting minutes?+
The law requires at least one ordinary general meeting per year to approve the financial statements and other company matters. Minutes are also taken when there are significant changes, such as the admission of new members, capital increases, or amendments to the articles of association. Keeping the minutes book up to date prevents problems when selling, financing, or auditing the company.
Do you serve partners or investors who speak English?+
Yes. We offer bilingual support in Spanish and English, which facilitates working with foreign partners and investors operating remotely in Mexico. We explain each document in their preferred language so they can make informed decisions.
