Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
Spanish term or phrase: participar en negociaciones o empresas
There seems to be missing verb between "negociaciones o" and "empresas" in this text:

" I) Emitir y negociar en general con toda la clase de títulos de crédito; J) Adquirir y disponer de acciones, valores y partes sociales de empresas (...), así como participar en negociaciones o empresas con fines similares o relacionados con los objetos arriba mencionados; y K) Llevar al cabo todos los actos y celebrar toda clase de contratos (...)"

Like in previous kudos post, this appears in an agreement to amend corporate bylaws for a Mexican corporation.

Explanation:
"empresas" can also mean "undertakings", "ventures", "(business) endeavors". I assume that is the meaning intended here. ¡Saludos!

to have interests in businesses or enterprises


Explanation:
Have a look in your Becerra dictionary and you will find that, in addition to "negotiation," the word "negociación" also has the meaning of "business, enterprise, venture, joint venture," etc.

My reasoning for choosing this interpretation here is I usually find that, in these contexts, legal drafters use synonyms to cover the concepts in their entirety, so it would be unusual if "negociaciones" were to mean something altogether different from "empresas", as it would with "negotiations".

You have to look back to "Adquirir y disponer de acciones, valores y partes sociales de empresas" to understand what "participar en negociaciones o empresas con fines similares" actually refers to, i.e., holding a stake or interest in these businesses, ventures, enterprises, etc.
