Venture Capital and
Private Equity
Private Equity
Mexican corporate and private equity law varies significantly from
that of the US and other countries. Non-Mexican clients must be
well advised in structuring private equity transactions.
Solcargo has one of the most highly-regarded private equity practices
in the country. Our private equity team has expertise in formulating
innovative strategies for both investors and entrepreneurs
participating in private equity and venture capital transactions.
Our team structures and drafts all applicable corporate and
contractual documentation necessary to assist private equity funds
in acquiring a minority/majority position, or an entrepreneur to
raise the necessary capital for the venture. Solcargo also handles all
aspects of regulatory fund formation.
