Investment Funds (Chambers & Partners Guide 2021)

This cross-border legal guide provides a global comparison of fundamental legal, tax and regulatory considerations relating to the establishment and operation of investment funds in a range of jurisdictions where the industry is active. Each chapter is written by leading legal advisers from the relevant jurisdiction, providing information on the structures typically used, the regulatory framework for those funds, any significant operational requirements, how the funds may be marketed, a summary of the tax treatment for both the fund itself and investors, and customary or common terms.

This guide seeks to provide guidance on the key questions arising when industry participants are seeking to establish, operate, market and/or invest in an investment fund. Investment funds often operate across multiple jurisdictions. Those who understand the global landscape will be at a distinct commercial advantage, as well as minimising their risk of falling foul of local laws.

Partners Héctor Arangua and Adalberto Valadez have contributed with an overview of the legal, tax and regulatory considerations and investment funds applicable in the Mexican industry.

Trends and Developments in Corporate M&A 2020 in Mexico

Our partners Julián Garza and Michell Nader, from Nader, Hayaux y Goebel, share their knowledge about the latest trends in the Mexican market for Corporate and M&A 2020, published in the last Chambers and Partners publication.

Change is the only constant – in everything, including the corporate and financial world. What has changed now is that we seem to be in an environment of permanent chaos.

The main factor that creates such a continuous state of convulsion is the complex “interconnectivity” that is now part of our lives, including our businesses. A new disruptive factor has recently emerged – COVID-19. At the present time, it is impossible to assess what its impact will be on the world economy, the financial markets, the labour sector and commercial and corporate activities. However, because of our interconnection as individuals, as countries, as elements of an economic chain that expands across the whole planet, it will certainly impact us all on a significant scale. Looked at from a purely business point of view, such impact will not only negatively affect certain economic sectors, but will also create numerous opportunities in the corporate and M&A sectors.
