Corporate & Cross-Border

• Incorporation
• Corporate governance
• Shareholders' agreements
• Family business
• Contracts with U.S. and Canadian counterparties

Kolsen Legal practices Mexican law. When a matter calls for an opinion on U.S. or Canadian law, we say so, and the client obtains it from a lawyer licensed in that jurisdiction; our job is to make the contract work in Mexico.

What the parent company expects from its subsidiary

Foreign companies operating in Mexico answer under their own laws for what their subsidiary does. We help the subsidiary deliver what its parent requires: an integrity program and anti-corruption policy adapted to Mexican law, a whistleblower channel, control over powers of attorney and signatures, gifts and conflict-of-interest policies, and periodic corporate and labor compliance certifications signed by the lawyer in charge.

Who we work for in this area

• Foreign companies incorporating or operating a subsidiary in Mexico.
• Mexican companies reorganizing their corporate structure or preparing a generational handover.
• Partners who need an agreement before a dispute arises, or during one.
• Companies from any country that contract with Mexican counterparties and want a contract enforceable in Mexico.
