Insolvency restructuring · 2024

What sets Bissu apart is their honesty from the start. In the first meeting they told us which scenarios carried risk and which did not. Without that transparency we would not have moved forward.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about legal services.

Fees, timelines, coverage, confidentiality and the firm's case selection process.

The first consultation at Bissu Abogados, S.C., is free and lasts 20 minutes. It takes place by video call or in person at our offices at Av. Prado Norte 365, Lomas de Chapultepec, Mexico City. Should you engage us for the diagnosis, our team —once it has all the elements for study— delivers within 72 business hours a legal diagnosis with the strategy, timelines and estimated fees.

Bissu's fees are charged under three possible structures, defined before starting the case: a flat fee per deliverable, an hourly rate, or a contingency fee (a percentage of the result obtained). The applicable structure is determined by the area and complexity of the matter. For example, a specific consultation or a contract is usually billed at a flat fee; an open-ended litigation may be billed hourly; a civil claim with a quantifiable expectation may go on contingency. The detailed fee proposal is delivered in the written opinion following the free initial consultation, and we never begin work without a signed engagement and express acceptance of the fees. For long proceedings, we agree on payment schedules tied to case milestones or monthly installments, all formalized in the same engagement. No surprises during the process.

The duration of a case depends on the subject matter of the proceeding and its specific complexity. As a reference based on representative Bissu cases since 2017: civil litigation runs around 18 to 25 months; a commercial insolvency between 12 and 24 months; a family case between 6 and 18 months; an international commercial arbitration between 14 and 24 months. These are typical ranges, not commitments. Actual duration depends on the court's workload, the opposing party's defense, the evidentiary complexity and any appeals filed. In the initial diagnosis we provide the strategy outline with the details of the case. You will have guidance throughout the entire process.

Yes. Bissu Abogados, S.C., operates throughout Mexican territory, not only in Mexico City. Our physical headquarters are in Lomas de Chapultepec, CDMX, but the legal practice is exercised nationwide. When a case requires in-person appearances in other states, we coordinate with the network of correspondent attorneys we have maintained since 2017, all vetted for their track record and specialty in specific jurisdictions. The costs of out-of-state appearances are disclosed in advance and included in the initial fee proposal.

Yes. All information shared with Bissu Abogados, S.C., is protected by attorney-client privilege, as well as under the Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties. The protection applies from the first contact, including the free initial consultation and even if you ultimately do not engage our services. In practice, this means: no team member may disclose facts, documents or strategies of your case outside the firm or after the professional relationship ends; physical and digital files are handled with access restricted to the assigned team; and the public description of any case omits all identifying elements. Confidentiality is the foundation on which we build every client relationship.

Yes. Bissu Abogados, S.C., represents companies and individuals equally. The typical portfolio split is approximately 60% corporate and 40% individuals (high-net-worth individuals and independent professionals). The areas that most often apply to personal cases are family law (divorces, international shared custody, estates, child support), civil litigation (damages, personal contracts) and constitutional litigation (individual amparo proceedings). For personal cases we apply the same standards as for corporate ones: a directly responsible specialist attorney, a written diagnosis before starting, documented periodic communication and transparent fees from day one. Discretion is total — personal matters often carry high asset exposure and no detail of the case leaves the firm during or after the process.
