MC Law Firm |
Abogados
One Lawyer. Two Legal Systems. Your Cross-Border Matter, Handled.
Led by a dual-qualified lawyer in Mexico and Canada — licensed in Mexico since 2000 and called to the Ontario Bar — helping individuals, families and businesses resolve legal matters between both countries from our Toronto office.
Who We Help
Canadian Businesses Expanding into Mexico
From incorporating a Mexican entity to negotiating supply and distribution agreements, we guide Canadian companies through foreign investment rules, corporate compliance and commercial contracts under Mexican law — explained in plain English, with Canadian business realities in mind.
Canadians with Legal Matters in Mexico
Buying or selling property, cancelling a timeshare, resolving an inheritance, or dealing with a Mexican contract dispute? As a Mexican Canadian lawyer, we handle your matter directly under Mexican law — no relaying instructions through intermediaries you can't verify.
Why Clients Choose
MC Law Firm
From Mexico City to Toronto, we have spent our entire career on Mexico–Canada legal matters — corporate, real estate, estates, immigration and consumer protection.
26 years of cross-border experience.
Most "cross-border" firms refer half your matter to someone else. Our founding lawyer is licensed to practise in Mexico (since 2000) and is a Barrister & Solicitor in Ontario, with deep command of both the civil law and common law systems.
Truly dual-qualified
Your matter is not split between two firms in two countries. One lawyer, one strategy, one responsible professional — on both sides of the border.
One point of accountability
Every document, negotiation and explanation available in English and Spanish, with the cultural fluency to prevent the misunderstandings that derail cross-border deals.
Bilingual and bicultural
How We Work
1. Understanding
We begin by listening — your goals, your timeline, and the full cross-border picture. The goal of this strategic paid consultation is to understand your situation, and give you a preliminary, clear and honest evaluation of your options.
2. Assessment
We conduct the relevant legal research and design a strategy that accounts for both Mexican and Canadian law.
3. Advice
You receive clear, practical recommendations — not jargon — in your own language, so you can decide with confidence.
4. Action
We execute the legal work in the right jurisdiction, keeping you informed at every step.
Your consultation is a paid strategy session — and it's worth it
You will meet directly with a dual-qualified lawyer in Mexico and Canada, not an intake assistant. You'll leave the session with a concrete assessment of your matter, the applicable law in each country, and a recommended path forward. If you retain the firm within 10 days, a portion of your consultation fee will be credited toward your legal fees.
Consultation from $440 CAD + HST* 30 minutes · In person, by video, or by phone
* For your convenience we offer different consultation options, contact us for more information.
What Our Client Say About Us
"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 relating to timeshares in particular in that country has its own unique aspects and processes for dealing with problems, 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. Also of note, is that he could draft legal documents and communicate as needed, directly in Spanish, without relying upon a translator. In this case..."
