Private Client Advisory

Senior Legal Counsel For high-Impact Personal Legal Decisions

Not all legal exposure sits inside a company.

Founders, shareholders, executives, families and individuals often face personal legal decisions that directly affect ownership, control, assets, and long-term risk. When those decisions carry material consequences — financial, operational, or cross-border — they require the same level of legal structure, judgment, and discipline applied to corporate matters.

UPLAW advises individuals on private legal matters where legal certainty must be deliberately designed, not improvised.

How UPLAW Advises Individuals

UPLAW is a corporate-focused legal company. Our private legal work is an extension of that practice, reserved for matters where personal legal exposure intersects with:

Corporate ownership or control.
Business or investment assets.
Cross-border structures or interests in Mexico.
Long-term succession and continuity planning.

We do not handle routine consumer legal matters. We advise individuals when the legal risk profile justifies senior, structured legal counsel.

All private legal matters are handled under a principal-led model, ensuring direct involvement by senior counsel, strict confidentiality, and consistent legal judgment throughout the engagement.

Private Legal Matters We Handle

Our advisory in this area may include, among others:

Succession and inheritance matters in Mexico, particularly where business interests, shareholdings, or complex assets are involved.
Asset structuring and ownership planning, including legal design for control, protection, and continuity.
Private disputes connected to business or property interests, handled with a strategic, risk-driven approach.
Advisory for foreign individuals with legal exposure in Mexico, including ownership, succession, or dispute-related matters.

Each matter is assessed individually to ensure alignment with our standards, scope, and method of practice.

Our Method

UPLAW approaches private legal matters with the same disciplined methodology used in corporate advisory. Each engagement follows a defined process designed to create legal clarity, manage risk, and protect long-term value:

01. Initial Assessment

We review your situation, objectives, and legal exposure to clearly define the legal position, key risks, and structural constraints involved.

02. Legal Structuring

We design legally sound structures and strategies aligned with your objectives, assets, and applicable regulatory environment.

03. Execution & Ongoing Oversight

We execute the legal strategy with precision and maintain oversight as matters evolve, ensuring continued alignment, compliance, and risk control.

The objective is not only to resolve the immediate issue, but to preserve value, reduce uncertainty, and prevent future legal exposure.

Our Role

UPLAW acts as legal counsel, not as a transactional service provider.

We advise, structure, and guide decisions where clarity, foresight, and accountability matter. Clients work directly with senior counsel and receive clear, practical legal direction — grounded in Mexican law and informed by cross-border realities.
