PROCESS AGENTS BY LOCATION

UK process agent for Latin American companies

The short answer

Yes, when a company from Brazil, Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America signs an agreement governed by English law without an establishment in England and Wales. English law runs alongside New York law across the region's international finance and trade, and where the English law route is chosen, the UK process agent clause travels with it.

01

Where Latin American parties meet the clause

Brazilian and Mexican corporates borrowing internationally, commodity exporters signing offtake and prepayment structures, shipping interests fixing under English law charterparties, and regional banks confirming trade instruments all encounter English law documentation. Wherever it gives jurisdiction to the courts of England and Wales, the Latin American party without a UK establishment is asked to name an agent for service here before signing.

02

Language and distance are not obstacles

Our team works in Spanish and Portuguese as well as English, which keeps order forms, due diligence queries and day to day correspondence moving without translation delays. The time difference of three to six hours behind the UK means morning instructions from Sao Paulo or Mexico City reach us within the same working day, with confirmation usually inside 24 hours.

03

Appointing from Latin America

Due diligence uses standard corporate documents, invoicing runs in USD among eight currencies with no UK VAT for overseas clients, and cover starts at £125 per year with fixed terms available to 30 years for long dated facilities. Scanned letters reach your counsel immediately, originals courier worldwide. Start at the Appoint Us Now page or email hello@tremarkprocessagents.com.
