Business Law
Business Law
At González-Paullada Domínguez (GPD), our Business Law practice is built on a simple premise: legal strategy must serve business strategy. We combine the precision, depth, and technical rigor of a top-tier firm with the agility, creativity, and partner-level involvement of a local one—so our clients, both domestic and international, can operate with confidence in Mexico’s complex legal and commercial environment.
We act as long-term partners to management teams, investors, and in-house counsel, working side by side to structure transactions, manage risk, and make the business happen. Our approach is business-first and preventive: senior-level involvement, fast response times, and tailored deliverables—checklists, risk matrices, step-plans, and bilingual documents—coordinated across our practice areas so clients can operate efficiently, expand with confidence, and prevent disputes before they arise.
Corporate Law
Corporate law is one of our most significant areas of specialization, where our lawyers provide carefully tailored advice based on each client’s specific needs. We support the full corporate lifecycle and day-to-day operations, keeping corporate structures aligned with business objectives throughout the life of the business. Our work includes:
- Entity formation, restructurings, and governance support.
- Shareholder agreements, meetings, and board protocols and resolutions.
- Corporate compliance, regulatory filings, and corporate housekeeping.
- Joint ventures, strategic alliances, and preventive advice.
- General counseling on day-to-day business matters and the resolution of corporate disputes.
M&A
At GPD, we support both domestic and international clients through every stage of their M&A transactions with a practical, agile, and strategic approach. Our team combines technical expertise with fresh business insight to deliver tailored solutions.
The scope of our services include:
- Initial efforts and business approach to understand the business transaction and identify key aspects for success.
- In-detail checklist preparation, as a crucial tailormade aspect of each operation.
- Careful and diligent advisory on strategy, structure and legal solutions as per each case.
- In-depth due diligence, to identify risks and enhance the acquisition/merger structure.
- Communication, diagnosis, and delivery of risk matrix, red flags and including guidance on a safe structure in each case, as per the respective findings.
- Post-closing follow-up on open or continuous items and mitigating assumed risks.
We advise both, buyers and sellers, with a business focus, while mitigating risks and allowing the business to happen.
Real Estate
Real Estate is also one of our firm’s biggest expertise areas, since our lawyers have vast experience in dealing with legal aspects thereof, from due diligence, structuring and planning, to construction, administration and selling.
Our expertise in this area covers a wide range of legal aspects, including property acquisitions, leasing, mergers, zoning and land use, environmental regulations, construction agreements and permits, property tax, real estate financing, building trusts for real estate development businesses, and more.
The firm has worked with various industries in Mexico where real estate law applies, such as commercial, residential, industrial, and tourism sectors. Additionally, González-Paullada has a track record of helping foreign entities navigate the complex legal landscape of Mexican real estate, providing legal advice and representation to clients from different countries.
Our vast experience and knowledge of real estate law make them a reliable and trustworthy partner for any individual or business seeking legal assistance in this field in Mexico.
