Why It’s Worth Signing a Lawyer-Drafted Contract (Instead of Downloading One From the Internet)

Introduction


Think of a contract as a car’s seat belt: you hardly notice it when the ride is smooth, but at the first sudden stop it saves you from a nasty hit. That’s exactly what we do at FIMA—strap on that legal “seat belt” for the agreements that matter most, so you can travel calmly and without surprises.


What Happens When You Sign “on the Fly”?

Common situation

What could go wrong

Copying a template from Google

The text may clash with the law and become invalid.

Signing without checking details (dates, names, sums)

A judge might rule the document proves nothing.

Leaving everything to “good faith”

If the other party fails, you face a long, costly dispute.

Skipping penalties or guarantees

Getting your money or goods back becomes nearly impossible.

Advantages of a FIMA-Drafted Contract


  1. Everything clear, nothing convolutedWe speak your language. If it sounds like medieval Latin, we translate it.

  2. Valid before any judgeWe include the clauses Mexican law requires, so the paper carries real weight.

  3. We anticipate the “what ifs”Late payment? Exchange-rate spike? Someone backs out? We’ve got it covered.

  4. We protect your walletPenalties and collection methods ensure you’re not left staring at the sky if the other side defaults.

  5. We safeguard your data and reputationYour information and brand are shielded. No leaks, no “I understood something else.”


Best Practices Before You Sign Anything


  • Read the whole contract (yes, all of it).

  • Check names and numbers—one extra digit in the price can wreck your budget.

  • Sign every page so no one “adds” anything later.

  • Keep a digital copy in the cloud and another printed one somewhere safe.

Conclusion


A poorly drafted contract is like driving without a seat belt: while everything’s fine you don’t notice it; when trouble hits, it hurts (and it’s expensive). For MXN $750 we provide an initial consultation, and if you need the full contract, we tailor it to you—no sneaky fine print.
