Our Process

A blue arrow is pointing at a blue circle.

1. Strategic Intake  

We begin with a targeted legal consultation to identify capital objectives, friction points, and jurisdictional constraints.

2. Deal Architecture  

We provide tailored legal solutions for your business within the U.S. and its expansion. We draft and negotiate custom investment instruments including SAFEs, convertible notes, and equity rounds incorporating compliance safeguards at every stage.

3. Execution & Closing

We oversee the entire execution process—from negotiating the term sheet to finalizing investor documentation—ensuring full compliance with U.S. and local securities regulations, and vice versa, depending on jurisdiction.

4. Advisory Continuity

Our work doesn’t stop at closing. We stay by your side—supporting governance, handling regulatory filings, and guiding next-stage capital activity as your business continues to grow.

Cross-border is not our challenge—it’s our playing field.

 We counsel at the intersection of U.S., Mexican, and Colombian legal systems. Whether structuring investment vehicles, optimizing tax positions, or managing dual-regulatory exposure, we operate across borders with the fluency of locals and the discipline of international counsel. We don't just bridge jurisdictions—we integrate them.

We act as if your cap table, equity stake, and liability were our own.

Our advice is anchored in alignment—built around the decisions you face, not the hours we bill. Whether guiding founders, investors, or boards, we take on risk like principals, not service providers. This is not legal in abstraction; this is counsel with skin in the game.

Documents don’t close deals—lawyers do.

We run lean, senior-led legal teams built for speed and substance. From SAFEs to SPAs, our clients rely on us to execute transactions where timing, jurisdiction, and precision are non-negotiable. We don’t just paper the deal—we drive it across the finish line.

We treat compliance as strategy—not cleanup.

Our regulatory work begins where others react. From securities filings to FATCA, CRS, AML, and ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) rules, we guide clients through evolving U.S. and LatAm regimes with jurisdictional fluency and forward positioning. The result: less exposure, more leverage.

Equity is only power if it lasts.

 We help founders and investors turn transactional wins into long-term structures—family offices, holding companies, trusts, and intergenerational frameworks. Whether anchoring a U.S. estate plan or safeguarding cross-border equity, we align legal architecture with what comes next.

FAQs

From which country am I a tax resident, and where should I pay taxes?

Tax residency essentially depends on the number of days you spend in a country, where your center of vital interests is located (family, housing, business), and the criteria set by local laws or double tax treaties. Therefore, you could be considered a resident and hence required to file taxes in more than one jurisdiction simultaneously. Accurately determining this requires analyzing your travel patterns, places of residence, sources of income, and the applicable treaties between the involved countries. Let us understand your specific situation and we will help you correctly define your tax residency and design a strategy to avoid double taxation.
