Real Estate Law

We participate in highly complex real estate transactions that require great specialization, providing advice in the different areas of real estate activity: purchase and sale of property and real estate companies, leases, promotion and construction contracts, real estate financing and legal configuration of large properties. More than 50% of Mexican territory is ejidal land, the rest is private property. Therefore, it is very important to determine the legal status of the property subject to any purchase and sale transaction.

Our activities include the review and analysis of the ownership history and other documentation; the evaluation of environmental, administrative, agrarian, litigation or any other aspects that could have an impact on the design and validation of the transactions; the generation of strategies to carry out developments of all kinds, as well as the negotiation of the necessary agreements and the follow up on the actions necessary to complete each deal (compliance with conditions, obtaining permits, licenses, authorizations, filings, etc.).

In Etchegaray Abogados, as a multidisciplinary firm, we complement the sectoral experience with advice in the other legal specialties that can be affected. We advise on competitive sale processes or ordinary purchases, sale & lease back transactions, purchase and sale of properties under construction and forward-funding, as well as on the regularization of real estate portfolios for their subsequent sale or for optimization of the assets.

In agrarian matters, we also provide services for the investigation of the legal status of properties in the National Agrarian Registry, the review of ejido files, obtaining parcel certificates and preparation of contacts and minutes in agrarian matters.

Our real estate law area also has a team specialized in property management, where we provide lease administration services (see below).
