Family-owned businesses make up a fundamental part of Mexico’s commercial landscape, and their longevity depends not only on corporate strategy but also on the dynamics and relationships among their members. In this context, the Family Protocol has become an essential legal instrument for ensuring harmony, transparency, and long-term business continuity.
A Family Protocol establishes clear rules regarding key matters such as participation off family members in the company, decision-making mechanisms, succession planning, and procedures for conflict resolution. Its purpose is to prevent personal differences from spilling over into the business environment and affecting the company’s operation, governance, or growth.
Implementing such a document generates tangible benefits: it strengthens the corporate governance structure, prevents internal disputes, facilitates generational transitions, and provides clarity in the management and preservation of family assets. Its effectiveness, however, requires the commitment and active participation of all family members, along with periodic reviews to ensure it remains updated in light of changes within the family or the business context.
Beyond serving as a tool for coexistence, a Family Protocol protects the company’s reputation, assets, and long-term continuity.
