Specific Rosen Law practice areas include:
Acquiring properties in Mexico can be challenging for foreign buyers due to risks in the less advanced title system. Rosen Law offers comprehensive legal services to mitigate risks and act as a buyer's advocate, streamlining the process. They recommend customized title insurance and U.S.-based escrow for a secure investment.
Mexican timeshare, condominium, and shared ownership are primarily governed by state civil codes, the Federal Consumer Protection Act, state condominium laws, the Federal Tourism Act, and the Foreign Investment Act. Strict compliance with these laws and understanding local legal customs is essential for structuring these ownership arrangements. Rosen Law has experience in developing and obtaining government approvals for projects in these areas at both the federal and state levels, including in states such as Baja California Sur, Baja California, Quintana Roo, and Jalisco.
Rosen Law specializes in ethical and effective representation for real estate litigation in Mexico, employing a unique approach that combines litigation and real estate experts. They collaborate with prominent firms across North America, emphasizing a comprehensive strategy for success in litigation. Services include legal advice, litigation management, and consulting for issues like labor disputes and white-collar crimes.
Dispute Resolution
Rosen Law provides comprehensive tax advice in Mexico for business decisions, addressing aspects such as acquisitions, corporate structures, exportation, contractual relationships, and daily operations. This includes considerations such as international treaties, establishment rules, tariff codes, compliance, and Mexican tax laws like Income Tax and Value Added Tax.
Rosen Law specializes in advising owners of jets and yachts on international transactions, tax, customs, and regulatory matters. Their services encompass guidance on purchase and sale agreements, leases (both long-term and short-term), importation, charter business, licensing and registration, and the application of Mexico's Foreign Investment Law in these industries.
Foreigners in Mexico must adhere to immigration laws, with non-compliance risking fines, imprisonment, or deportation. Rosen Law assists foreign clients with various visas and authorizations, including nonimmigrant, immigrant, permanent, naturalization, renewals, and defense against deportation, along with claims challenging visa denials.
Rosen Law facilitates corporate transactions between the United States and Mexico, providing legal services that cover entity formation, cross-border financing, drafting legal documents, and compliance with Mexican foreign investment laws. They offer comprehensive expertise to manage legal matters in cross-border businesses.
Mexican employment law prioritizes worker protection with non-waivable severance obligations and statutory benefits. Rosen Law advises foreign companies, ensuring compliance in areas such as drafting agreements, adapting policies, negotiating settlements, defending against labor board actions, and handling collective bargaining agreements and disputes.
Rosen Law offers legal expertise in project entitlement and development, focusing on environmental compliance, permitting, zoning, and regulatory approvals. Their services cover a broad spectrum, including environmental impact assessments, land use issues, water rights, and government permits. The firm is known for its adept handling of complex regulatory processes to ensure successful project outcomes.
