The new edition of this comprehensive treatise and reference guide provides extensive analysis of all major areas of business law and investment in Mexico. Designed for those who are either planning to invest in Mexico or who already have an established presence,Doing Business in Mexico provides a detailed examination of all relevant legislation and practice in Mexico and closely examines key issues and potential pitfalls involved in all areas of business and investment.

Recent trade liberalization has not only led to substantial increases in import and export activities in Mexico, but has also brought about major changes and added complexity to Mexico's foreign trade, tax, intellectual property, environmental and customs laws, and conflicts of law, in addition to legal certainty for capital investors within the country. Doing Business in Mexico's authors, through years of practice and scrutiny of the business, legal and regulatory environments, have learned to interpret the policy law conundrum that typically frustrates multinationals and to anticipate developments that might affect the way people do business in Mexico.
