On June 6, 2025, Mexico’s Federal Judicial Weekly published two binding precedents (jurisprudencias) issued by the country’s Supreme Court. These rulings, which became mandatory as of June 9, 2025, confirm that corporations (Sociedades Anónimas) may include both the first and second calls for shareholder meetings in a single publication.
This important development resolves a long-standing legal gap and offers companies an opportunity to streamline processes and reduce publication costs—provided the call to meeting is drafted appropriately.
That said, careful planning is essential. While now endorsed by Mexico’s Federal Judiciary, this tool must be used with technical precision and strategic care, always in strict compliance with each company’s bylaws. Otherwise, there is a significant risk of the meeting being rendered null and void.
Our corporate law team is available to assist clients with:
- Drafting clear, well-structured meeting calls in line with the specific bylaws of each company.
- Avoiding formal errors that could lead to annulment.
- Reviewing and, if necessary, challenging defective calls that may infringe shareholders’ rights.
This is a positive step toward improving corporate efficiency in Mexico. However, its success will depend on properly addressing the legal details.
Our corporate law team remains at your service to address any questions or provide legal advice on this matter.
