At Lorad, we're more than a law firm: we're part of Cancun's growth story. Our team grew up here and studied law here, watching the Riviera Maya transform through its growth and its growing pains along the way.
Much of that experience was built working directly with notarías, the institutions that make every property transfer, trust, and business formation legally binding in Mexico. That background gives us a level of procedural fluency that's hard to find outside the notarial system itself, and it's why we specialize in Real Estate and Trust Creation: guiding buyers through the fideicomiso process, title searches, and closings that protect their investment from day one.
Over 20-plus years, that expertise has broadened across our full range of services, from Intellectual Property to Business Consulting to Immigration.
Navigating Mexico's legal system as a foreigner means dealing with paperwork, procedures, and stakes that don't work the way they do back home. Our English-speaking lawyers translate that system for you — not just the language, but the process and the risks worth watching for before you sign anything.
How we work
Here's what that looks like in practice. On a real estate transaction, we handle the legal groundwork before you ever sit down with a notario: title verification, due diligence on the property and seller, structuring the fideicomiso if the property falls within the restricted coastal zone, and reviewing every document before it's signed. The notario formalizes the transfer, but the work that protects you happens before that meeting, and that's the part we own. The same principle carries into immigration and business filings: we prepare the case, anticipate what the reviewing authority will ask for, and stay involved until the paperwork is actually resolved.
