Our mission
To make world-class legal representation accessible to the communities that connect the United States and Latin America.
Counsel that crosses borders as easily as our clients
For more than fifteen years, IntiLex has been the legal home for families and businesses connecting the United States and Latin America.
2009
The year our doors opened
Our story
Founded to bridge two worlds
IntiLex was founded in 2009 in the heart of Lower Manhattan with a single conviction: that people and businesses moving between the United States and Latin America deserve legal counsel that speaks their language.
What began as a two-attorney immigration practice has grown into a full-service international firm advising families, entrepreneurs, and corporations across the Americas.
Our vision
To be the legal partner that moves as freely across borders and languages as the people and businesses it serves.
What guides us
The principles behind every case
Bilingual by design
Every attorney and team member works fluently in English and Spanish.
Cross-border fluency
Decades of experience bridging US and Latin American legal systems.
Partner-led attention
You work directly with an experienced partner, never a call center.
Transparent pricing
Honest timelines and clear fees, agreed before any work begins.
Our approach
Big-firm capability, personal-firm care
We pair the sophistication of an international practice with the responsiveness of a neighborhood firm.
- Direct access to your attorney, not an intermediary
- Every document and conversation available in your language
- One coordinated team for immigration, business, and disputes
- Clear, fixed-fee pricing wherever possible
From the Managing Partner
We built IntiLex on a simple idea: that a company's brand and its ideas are among its most valuable assets — and deserve counsel that treats them that way.
Every client gets the same thing from us: senior attorneys who know the law cold, move at the speed of business, and tell you the truth.
