What's different about an NDA in Mexico
Mexican commercial contracts, including NDAs, are governed federally by the Commerce Code. English is common in cross-border deals, but litigation requires a certified translation, so bilingual two-column drafting is the recommended convention for an NDA meant to be enforceable in Mexico.
