Independent Regulatory Risk & Financial Exposure Advisory

We Make Governance Measurable.

Most advisors describe governance risk. Chan García quantifies it. We convert legal, compliance, and regulatory exposure into financial ranges that investment committees, boards, and CFOs can act on.

The gap

Most Risk Reviews Tell You What's Wrong.
Few Tell You What It Costs.

Legal and governance risk reviews are common. Firms that translate those risks into measurable financial exposure are not.

Most advisors can identify that a company has governance gaps, compliance weaknesses, or regulatory exposure in Mexico. Very few can tell an investment committee — with defensible methodology — what that exposure represents as a financial range.

The difference between knowing a risk exists and knowing what it costs is the difference between a legal memo and a decision.

Chan García was built to close that gap — specifically for investors, operators, and decision-makers working in or entering Mexico.

Decision context · Boards and investment committees need quantified exposure, not narrative-only reviews.

The Mexico context

Mexico's regulatory environment is complex, jurisdiction-specific, and politically sensitive. Generic frameworks built for other markets frequently underestimate exposure.

The investor gap

Investment committees in PE and private credit increasingly require financially quantified governance inputs — not narrative risk descriptions — before committing capital.

The independence edge

Most large advisors who assess risk also sell implementation. That conflict doesn't exist at Chan García. Independence makes our assessments more credible.

Illustrative decision scenario

When the Numbers Change the Decision

Governance risk described qualitatively becomes a different conversation when it carries a financial number.

Meeting room prepared for an executive risk review

Example · Private Equity · Manufacturing Acquisition

Standard legal due diligence was complete. The IC asked for an independent governance review before closing.

This illustrative scenario shows how labor compliance gaps, undocumented environmental permits, and related-party tax contingencies can be translated into a probability-weighted exposure range. It does not describe a specific client engagement.

Decision framing: move from a qualitative legal finding to a number the committee can test against valuation and deal structure.
