Regulatory due diligence for venture funds, family offices and private equity investing in fintech, digital assets and AI across Latin America. We have run diligence on more than 520 projects. We tell you whether the thesis is investable before the wire, because after it you are no longer evaluating a deal, you are managing a position.
A go or no-go regulatory memo and a red flag map across Latin America.
Venture capital funds, private equity, family offices and corporate venture arms deploying into fintech, blockchain or AI in Latin America.
Individual investors seeking fund recovery, crypto scam litigation or consumer complaints. We will tell you so in the first call rather than after an engagement letter.
Regulatory viability memos and red flag reports are scoped to the timeline of a live process. Tell us the closing date on the first call and we tell you then whether we can meet it.
You are betting on a disruptive model, such as tokenized real world assets. If the legal structure is flawed, the regulator may not simply stop the company: it can freeze the assets, and your fund's liquidity goes with them.
Backing a project that turns out to be collecting funds without a licence damages more than the position. It reaches your ability to raise the next fund. We flag that before the wire, not after.
A company built on copied documentation is not intellectual property you are acquiring. It is a set of liabilities, and remediating them lands on the cap table you just joined.
You bring us the thesis, including the ones that do not fit an existing category, such as a tokenized asset or an on-chain governance model. We tell you whether the structure can exist under Mexican law and under what conditions, so you know if the asset class is investable at all.
We review the target's regulatory standing and its anti money laundering exposure, and report the risks with what it would take to contain each one. How that review is produced is described below.
We monitor the regulatory changes that reach your portfolio companies so they adapt before they fall out of compliance. Where a transaction involves a change of control, we also map which CNBV and Banxico authorizations it triggers, which is the approval that most often moves a closing date.
Regulatory due diligence is usually delivered as a narrative. We deliver it as a matrix: which obligations apply to the target's licence, which it meets, which it does not, and where each verdict came from.
We start from the requirement set that applies to the target's actual figure, whether that is an electronic payment institution, a money transmitter or a SOFOM, and build the obligation tree from there rather than from a generic checklist.
Each obligation carries a verdict and the evidence behind it, down to the document, section and page. Nothing is marked compliant because someone said so in a management call.
One for your investment committee, and one that holds up under audit with the full evidentiary trail. A partner ratifies every mapping before either version leaves the firm.
A saturated sector is not the only risk. Our matrix reads market saturation against the barrier that actually decides the timeline: how long the regulator takes. Sectors like neobanks and neosofipos combine low competition with manageable wait times, and that is visible before you wire the funds.
Thirty-plus versions of a purchase agreement, scattered across email threads. A founder who forwards the draft to the other side without reading it. We run the negotiation itself, not just the documents.
Each incoming version is compared against the last and every change is tied to the clause it touches and to whoever proposed it. That holds even when the other side sends a clean retype with no tracked changes, which is more common than anyone admits.
Your portfolio company walks through the commercial terms and the round's changes one by one, confirming or objecting to each. It takes about fifteen minutes, and the redlined document is not released until that review closes. It does not replace their counsel; it makes sure the decision was made rather than forwarded.
The purchase agreement, the transition services agreement, the term sheet and the data room, with their versions, their authorship and what is outstanding on each. The operator sees the whole transaction; the counterparty sees only the document.
