Entertainment & Digital Platforms
The entertainment and digital platform industries have undergone significant changes in their business models due to technological advancements and media evolution, presenting unique operational and regulatory challenges in Mexico. Our team has evolved alongside these trends, enabling us to effectively provide legal support across all aspects of this sector.
SMPS Legal has extensive experience advising entertainment and digital platforms companies in Mexicoon a wide range of legal matters, including transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, financing, and capital markets. We also provide guidance on corporate governance, contracts, tax consulting and litigation, compliance, ESG, labor and employment, real estate, and more.
Due to the evolution of the tax treatment applicable in Mexico to digital platforms, our team assists clients in identifying the tax implications of payments made by customers residing in Mexico to digital platforms for various services (e.g., parcel delivery, transportation of goods or passengers, advertising, and entertainment). This includes the income obtained by such platforms for “Live-Streaming” services and payments made by digital platforms to their business partners (e.g., drivers, delivery personnel, or content creators).
Our clients rely on SMPS Legal’s team to navigate their most pressing legal challenges in this highly dynamic sector, helping them achieve their business goals while ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations.
