When the deal is at risk,
we sit at the table.
Senior, bilingual representation in supplier disputes, contract breakdowns and high-stakes negotiations across Mexico and Latin America, in person, within 24 hours.
What is at stake
Distance is leverage
A counterparty that knows you cannot show up has every reason to delay, renegotiate or stop shipping.
Language becomes liability
Nuance lost in translation turns a commercial disagreement into a legal one.
Local process, local rules
Notices, evidence and timelines follow Mexican or local law. A misstep can cost you your position.
Six things we handle for you
Dispute triage
We assess the contract, the evidence and the counterparty within 48 hours and tell you where you stand.
In-person negotiation
A senior advisor represents your interests face to face, in Spanish, with your mandate in writing.
Mediation & arbitration support
We coordinate with arbitral institutions and local counsel, and prepare the commercial record.
Asset & inventory protection
Molds, tooling, inventory and IP located, documented and secured on site.
Settlement execution
Agreements drafted, signed and followed through until the last shipment or payment lands.
Executive reporting
A clear bilingual brief after every step, so leadership decides with facts.

A US manufacturer stops receiving parts
A Tier-2 supplier in central Mexico halts shipments and demands a 22% price increase. Within 24 hours a COLOMA advisor is on site, documents the tooling owned by the client, and opens a negotiation in Spanish. Two weeks later shipments restart under the original terms with a revised delivery schedule.
Illustrative example based on situations we commonly see. Not a specific client.
Questions we hear
Are you a law firm?+
No. We are a cross-border advisory firm. When a matter needs a licensed attorney, we retain and coordinate local counsel and manage them for you.
What does "neutral" mean?+
We can act for one party, or as a neutral facilitator both parties trust to move a stalled negotiation forward. The role is defined in writing before we start.
Which countries do you cover?+
Mexico, the US and Canada under USMCA, plus Colombia, Panama and the rest of Latin America through our network.
Counterparty & Dispute Position
Know your counterparty's real position before you sign, escalate or arbitrate. A failed escalation against an insolvent or judgment-proof counterparty costs more than the dispute itself.

Before renewing, verify capacity on the floor, not on paper. We recommend an unannounced visit to confirm lines, shifts and current customers, plus a check of their tax status and pending litigation. If the missed shipments came from capacity, ask for a written recovery plan and tie the renewal to on-time delivery for 90 days.
