Chambers Band 2 • 520+ Projects • 8 Unicorns • Drafted Secondary Fintech Regulation

The Only Firm That Shaped the Rules You're Playing By

The problem
Blue neon digital-style unicorn rearing on its hind legs facing a cracked tombstone with a drooping flower beside it, both featuring circuit-like patterns.
  1. We Lobbied the Fintech Law: In 2017, we conducted due diligence on ALL crowdfunding platforms in Mexico for AFICO. Our recommendations became regulation. We then participated in 270+ meetings with CNBV, Banxico, and SHCP during the Fintech Law's creation.

    CNBV identified us as "the fintech lawyers".
  2. We Drafted the Secondary Regulation: Selected as Fintech Regulatory Adviser for the British Embassy Prosperity Fund (2019-2022) — a £60M UK Government programme. We participated in developing ALL secondary fintech regulation in Mexico.

    The rules that govern your authorization today? We helped write them.
  3. Track Record of Firsts:

    - First IFC authorizations in Mexico (2021)

    - Represented 24% of ALL crowdfunding applications under Transitory Article 8

    - Selected by Big4 firm KPMG as their fintech legal arm

    - 100% success rate defending CNBV investigations for alleged illegal deposit-taking
  4. We Train the Regulators: We don't just advise clients — we train regulators. Our team has delivered Fintech, Blockchain, and AI training to CNBV, Banxico, and SHCP staff.

    We know how they think because we've taught them.

The 1,148% Increase in Regulatory Friction.

While the official discourse speaks of innovation, the data reveals a different reality. Regulatory wait times have increased 1,148% across administrations. We operate on a different time line delivering authorizations
up to 76% faster.
