Legal firm Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C. represented Fillip in the transaction. They carefully reviewed AAA’s assets, some of which are currently involved in litigation. At the same time, Cornish+Pani Abogados, acting on behalf of the sellers, conducted a full audit of AAA’s licensing and character rights. This careful legal coordination ensures a smooth transfer of rights.
