Corporate, Commercial and Business Law

Olivares & Cia. is at the forefront of legal, regulatory, and judicial changes affecting your business needs, goals, and challenges in Mexico and abroad – incorporation, merger, acquisition, spin-off, due diligence, restructuring, reorganization, transformation, dissolution, liquidation, foreign investment, tax, labor, anti-trust, operations, management, securities, international transactions, credit, franchising, licensing, financing, real estate, and consumer protection. 

Our business law attorneys work closely with all our groups to ensure optimum service for our clients. Our experience working with technical industries allows us the capability to understand a company’s legal needs from the inside out. As a result we have a relatively unique ability in transactional work to foresee potential pitfalls from a business standpoint and thus better shield our clients from future legal difficulties.

Because legal problems typically trigger different disciplines, our team approach will find the best solutions. Our attorneys have a wide range of experience in all areas of corporate, commercial and business law and provide a one-stop-shop legal service to manage all your legal needs under one roof, thus reducing the risk of letting anything fall through the gaps. 

In light of the success of our industry focused, one-stop-shop approach, we have formally structured three industry specific groups. We offer companies working in the Pharmaceutical; Media, Sports, & Entertainment; and Information Technology areas the option to work with a dedicated client service team set-up to manage your legal needs in Mexico. 

No business operation is too big or too small. Olivares & Cia. represents a wide scope of businesses -- solo proprietorships, partnerships, small businesses, foreign corporations, and multi-national corporations.
