Our firm and approach +
Focused Cross-Border Corporate Practice
We are a focused firm that advises clients on US-Mexico cross-border corporate transactions where the stakes are high, timelines are tight, and execution risk is real.
We advise Mexican companies doing business in the United States and U.S. companies doing business in Mexico. We represent both buyers and sellers, public and private companies, and growth-stage to mature businesses operating across the US-Mexico corridor. Our work includes M&A, strategic investments, joint ventures, founder liquidity events, nearshoring expansions, restructurings, and corporate governance. We are known for practical, business-minded advice and for solving complex cross-border problems with clarity, speed, and discretion.
Our model is intentionally lean. Matters are led by a principal and supported by senior lawyers with deep US-Mexico transactional experience, assembled on a task-force basis to bring the right expertise to bear without friction or delay. We limit the number and type of matters we undertake so clients receive senior attention where it counts: strategy, negotiation, risk allocation, and critical drafting.
Cross-border deals fail in predictable ways. We help clients avoid those failure points including governance and control issues, diligence blind spots, cross-border execution friction, regulatory and tax coordination, and post-close integration risk so they can move quickly and close confidently. We bring solutions that protect value and preserve relationships. We are built for the transactions that matter most.
How we work +
Principal-Led. Senior-Staffed. Built for Execution.
Hiro Law is built for US-Mexico transactions where the outcome matters and execution risk is real. We work with clients who want strategic counsel, not commodity production.
Matters are principal-led and staffed by senior lawyers with deep US-Mexico transactional experience. We run lean teams on a task-force basis with fewer layers and faster decision-making. On closing sprints, we respond the same day and maintain clear ownership of next steps.
Clients receive clear answers, disciplined process, and consistent execution.
Representative experience +
Representative Matters
Representative matters are described at a high level, anonymized, and illustrative of the work we lead across the US-Mexico corridor.
Advised a Mexico-based fund on the acquisition of a company in Austin, coordinating acquisition financing across jurisdictions, managing stakeholder friction, and driving deal protections and buyer risk mitigation as transaction quarterback.
Advised a Mexico-based family office on the divestiture of a Delaware corporation following the passing of the principal, coordinating approvals and multi-jurisdiction tax workstreams and negotiating a closing aligned to a fixed timeline.
Advised on the divestiture of key manufacturing assets of a New York public company in Mexico, addressing FCPA risk, mapping approvals and authority, and structuring closing deliverables to cut off liability post-closing.
Advised a U.S. company led by Mexico-based management on a Series A financing, negotiating investor rights and company obligations to preserve operating flexibility, align incentives and control, and close on a timeline driven by cash flow needs.
Represented a Mexico-based beverage company in a joint venture with a Texas partner, structuring IP and know-how protections and production terms to reduce post-closing disputes and support commercialization.
Advised a Mexico-based private equity sponsor in a joint venture where the founder retained operational control, aligning investor protections and decision rights with a growth plan and coordinating cross-border tax workstreams.
Advised a U.S. company establishing a new operating footprint in Mexico, building the execution timeline across advisors, clarifying operational responsibilities, and delivering an operating model through export readiness and U.S. market rollout.
Advised a Mexico-based company serving U.S. customers on obtaining IMMEX certification, coordinating foreign investment and tax workstreams and restructuring supplier and logistics terms to mitigate tariff-driven cash flow pressure.
Created a cross-border authority matrix and approvals map for a U.S. company with Mexico operations, streamlining signing authority across entities and establishing processes for related-party transactions to reduce operational friction and improve execution speed.
Restructured an acquisition after a post-close integration failure created uncontrolled liability exposure and shutdown risk, reallocating risk, establishing liability cutoffs and post-close protections, and repricing terms to avoid termination or litigation.
