Lex Mundi's newest Global Practice Guide on "Doing Business in Latin America" offers critical insights into the distinct legal and business infrastructures across 20 jurisdictions, providing a comprehensive overview of the state of the region's legal landscape.
The in-depth guide was developed with the assistance of Brigard Urrutia (member firm for Colombia) and provides corporate counsel with a comparative overview of laws, regulations and business issues spanning from Anguilla to Venezuela. It covers a wide array of arenas, including taxation, labor laws, foreign exchange, international investment regime, customs, migration, environmental protocols, real estate regulations, intellectual property rights, personal data protection, antitrust laws, infrastructure and public utilities, voluntary liquidation procedures, business termination guidelines, and insolvency and bankruptcy regime.
The essence of the guide is to aid in navigating the complexities of the Latin American business landscape, informing effective business strategies, ensuring compliance, understanding the nuances of different jurisdictions and making informed decisions when dealing with local policies and regulations.
The power of the Guide is in its comparative framework. It allows legal and business professionals to create tailored reports comparing local policies and regulations across their chosen jurisdictions in Latin America. This unique feature enables a side-by-side analysis and understanding of legislative approaches, regulatory authorities, and governance structures across varied jurisdictions.
Lex Mundi continues to be committed to delivering high-quality advice that solves complex cross-border challenges. This new guide is a testament to that commitment and is set to become an essential tool for any corporate counsel working in or planning to venture into the Latin American and Caribbean regions.
