Legal reforms were recently published; they have entered into force in Mexico, and several of them may directly affect the structure, development, and operation of real estate projects and transactions across the country.
Among the primary changes are:
Key Reforms to Consider
• Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Amendments: New compliance obligations and reporting requirements that may affect acquisition structures and sources of funds.
• Reforms Related to Monopoly and Competition Matters: Adjustments aimed at preventing market concentration that could influence development projects, acquisitions, and joint ventures.
• Law for the Elimination of Bureaucratic Procedures: Measures intended to reduce administrative burdens, which may alter permitting or governmental processes.
• Railroad Sector Reforms: Relevant for logistics, industrial, or mixed-use projects located near railway corridors or requiring access to rail infrastructure.
Understanding how these reforms apply to your project is essential for mitigating risks and adapting your legal structure accordingly.
