Regulatory Law

Regulatory change is constant in Mexico due to economic, political, and legal factors. OLIVARES closely monitors those changes to clarify obstacles, create strategies, and navigate the regulatory maze. The regulatory team at the firm drills into the specifics because even the best business ideas still need to overcome obstacles and comply with restrictions and mandates.

To ensure a full-service operation for intellectual property clients, OLIVARES has expanded the firm’s capabilities to include Regulatory Law. This was a natural progression given the firm’s specialized background and history.

This intricate area of law poses huge challenges for clients, and OLIVARES helps them navigate these strict regulatory requirements concerning their products and services — food, beverages, media, pesticides, medicine, and biotechnology.

OLIVARES also counsels corporations and trade associations on lobbying strategies regarding the creation, adjustment and implementation of laws, regulations, and procedures. OLIVARES is the only IP firm in Mexico to be registered lobbyists before Congress.

With the firm’s technical background and depth of knowledge as well as the experience of its attorneys, many of whom have studied US and European regulatory systems, OLIVARES has been instrumental in changing the regulatory requirements for many products in Mexico.  The firm’s commitment to achieving proper intellectual property protection for clients propels the team to constantly lobby to improve the law.

The firm’s Regulatory Law team can help obtain the required authorizations and licenses mandated by federal, state, and local government authorities.
