Services

The firm’s practice includes all aspects of Mexican law and international law while specializing in Mexican real estate and corporate law in its various forms of foreign investment in Mexico, in addition to civil litigation and probate in Mexico.

In 1988, Mr. Peyton opened the Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico office. The initial purpose was to work with and establish maquiladoras (offshore production plants) in the border region. While continuing the firm’s services to maquiladoras, throughout the 1990’s and into the 2000’s Mr. Peyton became heavily involved in litigation and real estate transactions in Mexico as well as business set ups for Americans doing business in Mexico. This process was accelerated by the series of changes in Mexico’s foreign investment laws, which increasingly made Mexico an attractive investment for foreign investors. Peyton & Associates have help Americans with their legal needs in Mexico for over twenty years. During this time we have established working relations with professionals throughout Mexico and consequently we able to meet the needs of our clients regardless of where they need help in Mexico.

As the practice grew, the firm continued to expand its services to meet the needs of Americans in Mexico. To do this Peyton & Associates has focused on civil and business litigation and probate and succession for Americans in Mexico.
