Alfredo Chávez, Partner in Pérez-Llorca’s Real Estate practice, shared with Reforma his analysis of Mexico’s new General Law to Prevent, Investigate, and Sanction Extortion and its implications for the construction industry.

In the interview, Alfredo notes that harmonizing the criminal classification of extortion nationwide is an important development, as this offense has historically hindered investment, increased costs, and created uncertainty throughout construction projects. A uniform legal framework will strengthen enforcement, provide greater legal certainty for businesses and developers, and reduce opportunities for abusive practices previously enabled by legal loopholes.
