What's different about a Letter of Intent in Mexico
The same UNCITRAL-based arbitration framework and certified-translation requirement for litigation apply to an LOI, and where the transaction needs to be effective against third parties, not just the signing parties, Mexican practice establishes that certain date through notarization or apostille rather than relying on the signature date alone.
