Mexico’s USD1.3 trillion economy is the second-largest in Latin America and the 15th-largest in the world. Mexico ranked number one among U.S. trading partners in 2019 with a bilateral trade value of USD614.5 billion as well as USD144 billion in bilateral, reciprocal foreign direct investment (FDI), and it is the first or second-largest export destination for the business communities of 27 U.S. states.
The US-China trade war has vaulted Mexico (and Canada) far past China as a U.S. trading partner, and as global companies seek to diversify their supply chains, Mexico offers proximity to U.S. markets, modern infrastructure, access to ports for global distribution and a highly skilled, well-educated workforce.
Mexico is open to foreign direct investment (FDI) in the vast majority of economic sectors, and the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) provide tariff-free access to the United States, Canada and 10 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
With long experience providing legal counsel and solutions to clients on three continents, we know how crucial it is to understand local contexts, especially when you’re doing business with companies and individuals that are operating in their native cultures and legal systems.
We know what works in Mexico, and perhaps more importantly, we know what doesn’t work. We understand the law, the legal system, the regulatory environment and the broader global trade context, and our advice takes into account all these elements as we help our clients develop winning strategies.
We support our clients’ businesses by writing strong bilingual contracts, ensuring their intellectual property is protected, and conducting thorough due diligence. We also assist with entity formation, statutory compliance, operations finance and local partnerships, and we have successfully resolved countless legal disputes between entities from different countries.
The US-China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic have reinforced to many businesses the importance of a diversified supply chain, and for a number of reasons beyond just location and tariffs, Mexico is attracting a lot of interest. Establishing manufacturing facilities and a logistics infrastructure are complicated processes, and missteps can cost millions.
Many of our clients from all over the world (including many from Asia) are shifting manufacturing from China to Mexico, and our deep knowledge of China’s laws and business and regulatory environment allow us to help them exit China as cleanly as possible and identify the most appropriate manufacturing model and operational framework for them in Mexico.
Mexico is much more than just manufacturing, and U.S. companies exported over $250 billion of goods and services to Mexico in 2019. The U.S. and Mexico share a long history as trading partners, and since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into force in 1994, superseded by the USMCA in 2020, relations and trade volumes have grown steadily.
Over the past few years more and more companies have come to us for help moving parts of their operations to Mexico, or to figure out the best ways to bring their goods and services to the Mexican market. We support clients with new entity formation, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, intellectual property rights protection, employment and labor issues, as well as complex cross-border litigation.
