Over 50% of Mexican territory is held by agrarian communes (ejidos), with the remainder being private property. For this reason it is highly important to research the legal status of a property subject to a purchase or sale operation.
Our goal is to ensure that you, as buyer or seller, have the greatest legal certainty possible before, during, and after the purchase or sale operation.
Our attorneys are highly specialized to perform the preparatory work for the legal conversion of the property the client wishes to acquire.
