We did not just study the Ley Fintech. We took part in the 270+ working meetings that shaped it and co-drafted its secondary regulation. Our most recent IFPE and IFC authorizations were granted 46% and 52% faster than the sector average.
Legal Paradox® is a Chambers-ranked law firm in Mexico focused exclusively on fintech, blockchain and digital assets law (Band 4 firm). Founded in 2017 by Carlos Valderrama, individually ranked Band 2 by Chambers and Partners, the firm has trained CNBV and Banxico staff. In 2026 it was the only Mexican participant in the FCA × CFTE AI Lab Supercharged Academy, and the only Latin American project among the four selected from sixty.
According to the authorizations published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación, average authorization time across all CNBV authorizations in the index has moved from 594 days across 22 authorizations in one period to 853 across 73 in the next. The queue belongs to the regulator. What you choose is who builds the file and how fast observations are answered.

In my opinion, the most relevant and knowledgeable lawyers in FinTech in Mexico. They were vital in our authorization process and the legal FinTech arm of a BigFour firm.
Legal Paradox® has been a crucial ally in the negotiation of the FinTech Law, always standing by us. Their direct involvement in shaping the framework provided us with strategic foresight.
They are incredible both personally and professionally. Since I met them, they have always shown interest in improving the FinTech ecosystem in Latin America. Their knowledge of the industry is incredible and their network of contacts is great.
