Our partner Héctor Cárdenas, counsel Luis Miguel Posadas, and associates Samantha Maasberg and Marcelle Cohen, are the authors of the Mexico chapter for Chambers’ Technology M&A 2025 Guide.
The “Law & Practice” section provides an overview of key aspects of technology mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Mexico, covering topics such as:
- Market Trends
- Establishing a New Company
- Initial Public Offering (IPO) as a Liquidity
- Sale as a Liquidity
- Spin-Offs Acquisitions of Public (Exchange-Listed) Technology Companies
- Overview of Regulatory Requirements
- Recent Legal Developments
- Due Diligence/Data Privacy
- Disclosure
Meanwhile, the “Trends & Developments” section, authored by Héctor Cárdenas and Luis Miguel Posadas, explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in Mexico’s M&A landscape. AI is reshaping the technology sector, and Mexico is developing a regulatory framework to foster its adoption while addressing potential risks.
Key takeaways:
- AI’s impact on M&A: Investment in AI startups is growing; Mexico presents an attractive market but faces regulatory and funding challenges.
- Regulatory initiatives: The framework aims to define AI legally, ensure transparency, audit algorithms, and establish liability for AI-related harm.
- Investment catalyst: Clear regulations can attract foreign investment, increase startup valuations, and drive M&A activity in sectors like fintech and healthtech.
- Challenges and global alignment: Mexico must balance innovation and compliance, strengthen digital infrastructure, and harmonize regulations with international standards.
