PeninsuLawyers at the Forefront: Structuring for Success in Mexico
José Bolio will present on the topic, “Structuring for Success: Legal Frameworks for Profitable Real Estate Development in Mexico.” His session will provide critical insights for foreign nationals and funds looking to invest in the flourishing Mexican Caribbean market.
Key themes of the presentation will include:
- Preemptive Due Diligence: Establishing an “unshakeable foundation” by ensuring sanctity of title, verifying permits, and navigating zoning compliance to de-risk ventures from the outset.
- Corporate Architecture: A strategic analysis of the primary investment vehicles, comparing the use of a Fideicomiso (Bank Trust) versus a Mexican Corporation for scalability and liability protection.
- The New Paradigm of Compliance: Addressing mandatory adherence to consumer protection laws (NOM-247) and the reformed Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, which are crucial for building trust and ensuring project viability.
José Bolio’s analysis is informed by over 25 years of legal experience and is further detailed in his book, The Foreign Investor’s Legal Guide to Riviera Maya Real Estate.
