The Commercial Code of Mexico and the Commercial Companies Act of Mexico (combined edition) An English translation with an Introduction, Indices, and Appendix by Julio Romañach, Jr. isbn-13 (978-1-4004-0037-9) at US$175.00 per copy + US$9.50 Shipping & Handling per copy (USA destination) Published 2017, Paperbound 8 1/2 x 11 inches, 312 pages This Edition is a revised, updated and expanded edition of Romañach’s English
translation of the Commercial Code of Mexico, Selected Substantive Provisions, which was first published in 2003,
and last published in a revised and updated format in 2012. This 2017 combined edition contains all of
the provisions in force of the Commercial Code of Mexico, substantive as well as procedural. The Commercial Code, which is
federal law in Mexico, is applicable throughout the Mexican federation. It contains important rules of
a general nature applicable to business contracts, as well as particular rules governing particular commercial contracts,
such as commercial sale and commercial commission. The Commercial Code also contains rules governing the
Commercial Registry, which is under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Secretary of the Economy, and it contains rules
governing the new Registry of Security Rights in Movable Property, added in 2009, which provides for the recordation of secured
transactions on “movable securities”. The Commercial Code also provides rules dealing with
electronic commerce, including electronic signature. The articles on electronic commerce provide all important
rules on contract formation by electronic means, including instances in which the transaction involves notarized instruments.
The articles on procedure constitute a veritable evidence and procedure code relative to commercial disputes including
very detailed default provisions on arbitration, both (Mexican) national and international. The Mexican Commercial Companies Act or business associations law (Ley General de Sociedades
Mercantiles) is the fundamental source of company law in Mexico. It is federal law, and, as in the
case of the Commercial Code, is applicable throughout the Mexican federation. It contains rules on the
organization, structure, and operations of commercial companies, including the general partnership, the corporation, and the
L.L.C. This combined edition of the Commercial Code of Mexico and the Commercial Companies Act of Mexico includes
an introduction to the legislative enactments, detailed subject-matter indices citing to article numbers, and an Appendix
of selected provisions of the Federal Civil Code of Mexico (also translated into English by Julio Romañach, Jr.).
DICTIONARY OF MEXICAN LAW
By: Julio Romañach, Jr., ATTORNEY AT LAW Admitted to the Louisiana and Florida Bars isbn-13 (978-1-4004-0021-8) Published 2012 Paperbound, 8 1/2 x 11

The Dictionary of Mexican Law, by Julio Romañach, Jr. contains definitions covering a broad
spectrum of Mexican law including — civil law and commercial law (reflected not only in the federal and representative
state civil codes, but also in significant codes and statutes embodying federal commercial law, such as the commercial code,
the general law of negotiable instruments and credit transactions [ley general de títulos y operaciones de crédito],
the contract of insurance law [ley sobre el contrato de seguro], the maritime navigation and commerce law [ley
de la navegación y comercio marítimos], the general law of commercial companies [ley general de sociedades
mercantiles] and other statutes), family law, torts, corporate law, procedural law (including the recently enacted federal
class action law [acciones colectivas]), constitutional law, and criminal law among others.
While the legal terms included in the Dictionary of Mexican Law are set forth
in the Spanish original, all definitions of these terms are written in the English language. Most definitions
are derived from and cite to primary sources. The definitions purport to provide an exposition of
the meaning of a particular term or phrase in Mexican law, with legislative context in many instances. The
author translated many Mexican legislative enactments into English while writing this dictionary and included significant
excerpts from those translations, as well as excerpts from his previously published English translations of the Federal Civil
Code [Federal Civil Code of Mexico, An
English translation with an Introduction and Index
by Julio Romañach, Jr.] and the Commercial Code [Commercial Code of Mexico: Selected Substantive
Provisions, An English translation with an Introduction and Index by Julio Romañach, Jr.] to provide that legislative context.
In view of the importance to lawyers in the USA of the Mexican states bordering the USA territorial boundaries,
the bulk of the terms in family law often cite to codes from representative Mexican border states.
No prior knowledge of the Spanish language or any familiarity with Mexican
legal terminology is needed to use this dictionary because it includes an English Language Index to Mexican Legal Terms,
arranged in alphabetical order, which points the user to relevant Mexican legal entries in Spanish (with their accompanying
legal definitions in English) located in this dictionary. The Dictionary of Mexican Law
is designed primarily for American legal professionals who, in their practice, encounter Mexican legal terms and concepts
in contracts, wills, government documents and other legal instruments; or who encounter such terms or concepts in legal negotiations
or in the course of litigation; or who have an interest in Mexican law and legal culture. In addition,
the extensive citations to relevant Mexican codes and statutes in the legal definitions of this dictionary provide the American
practitioner with a broader general understanding of the Mexican legal system’s primary sources of the law. Moreover,
a greater understanding of Mexican law facilitates communication with foreign counsel; enhances the American legal professional’s
use of his own analytical skills to spot issues; and helps minimize erroneous assumptions by the American legal professional.
