It's In Our Name.
The legal profession is not merely a vocation for us; it is a calling that runs through our bloodline. Our family’s legacy of legal excellence dates back to 5 generations before us, and we take pride in continuing this tradition of providing unparalleled international legal services.
The name Abolaw comes from the last name of the founding partner, Abogado, which means “lawyer” in Spanish. Abogado is not just a mere translation for “lawyer” but it is a symbol of our family’s unwavering commitment to justice and our dedication to upholding the rule of law for more than 300 years. As the founder and lead counsel of our firm, Mr. Andrés Abogado and his team embodies this legacy of legal excellence, and it is our honor to carry on this name by providing exceptional legal services to our clients, continuing the legacy of his family.
We are trusted by reputable institutions in Mexico and Canada, such as the Mexican Consulate in Vancouver, the Vancouver Bar Association and the Canada Mexico Chamber of Commerce. We advise Canadian companies and individuals to navigate the complexity of Mexican Law, and Mexican companies and entrepreneurs understand Canadian corporate and Business Immigration Law.
Our competitive advantage of providing direct and cost-effective legal services ensures that you are able to focus on the tasks and projects that matter most to you without having to worry about high bills by paying two different law firms and struggling with language barriers of doing business internationally.

Our team of highly qualified lawyers have a combined 50 years of experience in handling complex legal matters in Mexico, Canada, and other Latin American countries, making us a go-to firm for all your cross-border legal needs. Let us assist you in navigating the complexities of the legal landscape and provide you with tailored solutions to your legal issues.
About Our Firm
Abolaw is an international firm in western Canada with direct offices in Mexico and British Columbia. Unlike Canadian firms that need to sub-hire Mexican lawyers on behalf of Canadian clients with legal needs in Mexico, or Mexican lawyers who collaborate with Canadian firms, we are the only law firm that truly provides legal services in both countries directly and without intermediaries. Our ability to practice law in Mexico and Canada, and our bilingual skills make us the preferred choice for Spanish speaking clients in British Columbia and Canadian clients with legal needs in Mexico and across Latin America. We are also Notary Publics in British Columbia.

Values
What also sets us apart is that we stand by our values. It’s important to us that you know what these are
Legal Bilingualism
Our team is qualified to practice both in Mexico and Canada and this allows us to communicate with clients in professional legal terms understandable to Canadian English speakers. Mexican lawyers are not able to communicate with eloquence because they are only qualified to practice law in one country, even if they speak English. The same happens with Canadian lawyers, who do not practice or understand Mexican law, even if they speak Spanish. Being qualified in both countries and regulated by Canadian professional bodies gives us a unique advantage in the delivery of legal services.
Financial Protection
Our firm is insured and regulated and insured by The Law Society of British Columbia, Legal fees paid in advance are deposited and protected in audited trust accounts, unlike all the firms in Mexico which are unregulated. This means that we can only withdraw the fees from the trust account once the legal work has been completed.
Regulatory oversight
Our firm abides by the standards and regulations set by the Code of Professional Conduct of British Columbia and the Model Code of Professional Conduct issued by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, unlike Mexican lawyers, which are not fully regulated.
Endorsements and Recognitions
Our firm is endorsed by the Mexican Consulate in Vancouver, the Canada Mexico Chamber of Commerce, The Vancouver Bar Association, the Canadian Bar Association and the BC Arbitration Institute. When you deal with us, you know you are dealing with a trusted firm
Alliances
We have professional alliances with reputable firms in Spanish speaking countries. Which enables us to leverage their expertise to help you solve your legal issues which may be outside our areas of expertise.
