Wellstein Mora Rodriguez International s.a.

Wellestein Mora Rodriguez International s.a. is the second North American office of the law firm, initially founded in Washington, DC. The principle areas of practice of the Montreal office are oriented toward corporate law and business law, Canadian immigration law, civil and commercial litigation, international legal affairs, and family law. The Montreal office shares the considerable experience of the firm in assisting enterprises desiring to expand into Latin America. For this purpose, the office works closely with lawyers in its affiliated offices in Washington, DC, as well as with its network of local corresponding attorneys in order to offer complete and tailor-made solutions for businesses wishing to expand their operations or transactions to clients and suppliers in the various countries of Latin America. In the area of Canada immigration law, the firm's Montreal affiliate focuses primarily on economic and business immigration, covering all available Quebec and federal temporary and permanent immigration program streams (Quebec skilled-worker, entrepreneur and investor programs, Express Entry, business visitor status, work permits and study permits). In this area, our attorneys are particularly knowledgeable in devising and implementing successful strategies allowing business people to transition from temporary to permanent resident status in the context of business start-ups and acquisitions. Quebec being a codified civil law-based legal system, the expertise of the Montreal office is particularly relevant for clients with business interests or facing legal issues in that province of Canada and other civil law countries such as those in Latin America, the Caribbean and continental Europe. The Montreal office is composed of lawyers who are multilingual and who speak French, English, and Spanish fluently. The fact that European and Latin American cultures exist within the team allows it to establish close ties with its clients.
