One firm for everything legal in Mexico
PV Law Firm is a full-service, fully bilingual law firm based in Puerto Vallarta. For more than two decades we have represented foreigners — primarily U.S. and Canadian citizens — and companies doing business in Mexico, from our Puerto Vallarta office and remotely across the country.
Most clients arrive with a situation, not a label: "we found a condo", "my visa is expiring", "I signed something I should not have". You do not need to know which service you need — describe the situation and we will translate it into a plan. These are the areas we practice every day:
- Real estate closing services — offer review, title search, escrow coordination and signing at the notaría.
- Immigration services — temporary and permanent residency, work authorization, family visas and naturalization.
- Corporation services — incorporation, bylaws, registrations, permits and corporate maintenance.
- Escrow services — neutral, insured handling of your funds during a transaction.
- Bank trusts (fideicomiso) — setup, assignment of rights, beneficiary planning and renewals.
- Tax services — Mexican and U.S. expat tax compliance, planning and defense.
- Legal contracts & negotiations — drafting, review and negotiation under Mexican law.
- Foreign investment — structures, restricted sectors and RNIE compliance.
- Notarías — what the notario does, and who protects your side of the closing.
- Timeshare cancellation — legal, confidential exit from abusive timeshare contracts.
