Your Legal Bridge Between Canada and Mexico
Navigating legal matters across jurisdictions requires more than knowledge—it requires experience in both systems.
Luis Guillermo Cruz Rico, is a Mexican and Canadian lawyer (UNAM LL.B., Osgoode LL.M.) licensed in both Mexico and Ontario, with over 26 years of experience handling cross-border legal matters.
He understands both legal systems, languages, and cultural realities — allowing him to provide practical and effective solutions.

Trusted by Clients,
proven in Court
"I was impressed with the professional, pleasant sophistication of the office itself, and was equally reassured by the calm, thoughtful and attentive demeanour of Mr. Cruz Rico. He took care to thoroughly understand the issues from my (the client's) perspective, and he also took care to explain the complexities of the facts and applicable law and legal processes.
As Mexican Civil Law is very different from the English (Canadian) Common Law, and as Mexican law...I knew, being myself a retired Canadian lawyer, that I would be wise to retain legal counsel trained and experienced in Mexico. Of course, as Mr. Cruz Rico is also trained and experienced in Canada, he was well able to understand my perspectives and assist me in understanding the differences in the two legal systems"
