Pursuing dual legal accreditation, he completed the rigorous National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) process, demonstrating proficiency in 14 legal subjects. In 2014, he was called to the Ontario Bar, officially becoming licensed in both jurisdictions.

 

Throughout his career, Luis Guillermo Cruz Rico has handled high-profile cases, collaborated with some of the brightest legal minds in Mexico and Canada, and successfully argued cases before courts in both countries. His deep understanding of both legal traditions has positioned him as a trusted legal advisor for individuals and businesses navigating the complexities of the Mexican and Canadian legal systems.

 

Beyond his professional achievements, he takes great pride in having raised a family while embracing the best of two worlds.
