Commercial Contract Lawyers in Mexico

Business Contract Attorneys for Domestic and International Companies

At Zozaya e Ibáñez, we help companies reduce legal risk and strengthen their commercial relationships through carefully drafted, negotiated, and reviewed contracts.

As a leading business law firm in Mexico City, we advise Mexican and international companies on the preparation of sophisticated commercial agreements designed to protect their investments, intellectual property, confidential information, and long-term business objectives.

Our attorneys understand that every transaction is unique. For that reason, we never rely on generic templates. Every contract is drafted from the ground up to accurately reflect the commercial intent of the parties while minimizing legal and financial exposure.

Contract Drafting Tailored to Your Business

Our commercial contract lawyers begin every engagement by understanding your business model, operational goals, risk tolerance, and commercial strategy.

This collaborative process enables us to prepare agreements that clearly define:
• Rights and obligations
• Payment terms
• Performance standards
• Limitation of liability
• Intellectual property ownership
• Confidentiality obligations
• Non-compete and non-solicitation provisions
• Dispute resolution mechanisms
• Governing law
• Termination rights
• Damages and liquidated damages
• Force majeure provisions

Rather than producing standard contracts, we develop legal instruments specifically designed to support each client’s business objectives.

Commercial Contract Review and Negotiation

Our attorneys also represent clients during contract negotiations with suppliers, customers, distributors, investors, contractors, and strategic partners.

Before execution, we perform a comprehensive legal review to identify:
• Hidden legal risks
• Unbalanced contractual obligations
• Regulatory compliance issues
• Financial exposure
• Ambiguous provisions
• Intellectual property concerns
• Future litigation risks

This preventive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of costly disputes.

Experienced Contract Litigation Attorneys

One of the greatest advantages of working with Zozaya e Ibáñez is that our lawyers are not only transactional attorneys—they are also experienced litigators.

Because we regularly represent companies in contract disputes, breach of contract litigation, and commercial lawsuits, we know precisely which contractual provisions tend to create problems in court.

This practical litigation experience enables us to draft contracts that are more enforceable and better prepared to withstand judicial scrutiny.

Artificial Intelligence Combined with Legal Expertise

From our offices in Mexico City, we combine legal experience with advanced technology.

Our attorneys use leading artificial intelligence platforms to complement—not replace—legal analysis, allowing us to review large volumes of information, identify contractual inconsistencies, and improve drafting efficiency while maintaining rigorous attorney oversight.

Technology enhances our work; legal judgment remains at the center of every decision.

Construction Contracts

Our firm has become one of the most experienced legal advisors for construction companies operating in Mexico.

We regularly draft and negotiate:
• EPC Contracts
• Design-Build Agreements
• Lump Sum Contracts
• Unit Price Contracts
• Subcontractor Agreements
• Supply Agreements
• Professional Services Agreements
• Infrastructure Contracts

Our attorneys in Mexico City are also familiar with regulatory requirements involving SIROC, REPSE, construction compliance, change orders, latent defects, project delays, warranties, and claims management.

This industry knowledge allows us to create contracts that effectively allocate risk while protecting our clients throughout every stage of the project.

Joint Venture Agreements

We advise domestic and international investors in the preparation of Joint Venture Agreements for strategic investments in Mexico.

Our contracts regulate:
• Capital contributions
• Governance
• Profit distribution
• Exit mechanisms
• Deadlock resolution
• Intellectual property
• Confidentiality
• Non-compete obligations

Our objective is to provide investors with legal certainty while protecting the value of their investment.

Consumer Contracts and PROFECO Compliance

Companies operating in Mexico are frequently required to register Consumer Adhesion Contracts before PROFECO.

Our attorneys advise businesses throughout the entire process, including:
• Contract drafting
• Regulatory compliance review
• Registration before PROFECO
• Compliance with Mexican Official Standards (NOMs)
• Consumer protection compliance
• Terms and Conditions review

We help companies avoid regulatory penalties while maintaining commercially effective relationships with their customers.

Confidentiality Agreements (NDAs)

Protecting confidential information requires much more than signing a standard NDA.

Many confidentiality agreements fail because they omit enforceable remedies in the event of unauthorized disclosure.

Our attorneys prepare comprehensive:
• Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
• Mutual Confidentiality Agreements
• Employee Confidentiality Agreements
• Vendor NDAs
• Technology Confidentiality Agreements
• Intellectual Property Protection Agreements

Each agreement establishes:
• Precisely defined Confidential Information
• Permitted disclosures
• Information handling protocols
• Non-use obligations
• Return or destruction of information
• Liquidated damages provisions
• Injunctive relief
• Contractual penalties
• Dispute resolution procedures

Contract Disputes and Breach of Contract Litigation

When negotiations fail, our litigation team represents companies in disputes involving:
• Breach of Contract
• Specific Performance
• Contract Termination
• Liquidated Damages
• Commercial Collections
• Construction Claims
• Shareholder Agreements
• Supplier Disputes
• Distribution Agreements
• Joint Venture Disputes

Our experience in both contract drafting and commercial litigation enables us to anticipate legal issues before they arise and, when necessary, aggressively protect our clients’ interests before Mexican courts.
