Commercial Contracts

Mexican contract law varies significantly from that of common law jurisdictions. To further complicate matters, a transaction subject to commercial law may require an agreement entirely different from a similar transaction subject to civil law. Agreements carried out in Mexico involving Mexican parties should be drafted in accordance with Mexican law, and  negotiating agreements in Mexico requires an acute understanding of cultural, linguistic and legal nuances.
