As in many other jurisdictions, companies in Mexico can be combined or acquired through mergers, public tender offers (in the case of public companies), joint ventures, or acquisitions of shares and assets. The structure to be implemented must be defined on a case-by-case basis, and factors to consider when deciding on the ideal structure may include liabilities to be assumed (whether from a commercial or tax perspective), as well as the type or nature of the target and the project to be acquired.
