De La Garza-Medina & Asociados

At De La Garza-Medina & Asociados, accounting and tax work sits alongside legal and investment advice, in San Pedro Garza García, in the Mexican state of Nuevo León. The firm says it accompanies businesses from their earliest steps to growth, and helps families pass wealth on to the next generation.

Accounting and tax work for growing companies

The accounting side produces the financial information that owners and managers use for decisions over the short and the long term. Alongside bookkeeping, the firm offers tax services that aim to correct and prevent deduction risks, including the risks that come from the services a business buys from other companies. Tax planning is built within the legal framework that applies in Mexico, so that a client's choices are sound as well as efficient.

Legal and transactional protection

Negotiations between partners, suppliers, customers, employees and government bodies carry risk, and the firm advises on arrangements that make those transactions secure for every party. Its legal work covers civil, labour and transactional risk, along with the economic risks that run through a company's value chain. Wholesale and retail deals are presented as business opportunities that are hard to judge, and the firm helps clients weigh them using several specialist disciplines before they commit.

Investment, property and energy projects

Clients planning a new venture or project can use the firm's methods for judging an investment decision before money is committed. Its real estate advice covers buying, selling, renting or investing in property, including property that forms part of a wider deal. The firm also develops opportunities in renewable energy, some tied to government contracts and others to private companies, and it supports foreign investors who want to invest in Mexico or work there.

Manufacturing, maquila and family wealth

Maquila and manufacturing are one of its main markets, running from small producers through to large exporters, which it describes as the most important source of employment in its state. It also serves retail and wholesale traders, family businesses, and families planning how their assets will pass to the next generation. Across these clients the stated aim is the same: to help each one reach its next stage of growth on firmer financial and legal ground.
