Acquiring Argentine Companies as a Foreign Investor

International business requires coordination of documents and legal responsibilities across jurisdictions. A foreign acquisition combines an Argentine transaction with the buyer's home-country legal requirements.

What to keep in mind

Assess investor structure, funding, due diligence, ownership restrictions, authorizations, warranties and cross-border closing arrangements.

A foreign buyer may need additional documentary and regulatory steps even where the target is already registered.

Distinctions often confused

Buying Argentine shares is different from establishing a new Argentine subsidiary.
