Cervantes Law Firm

About Cervantes Law Firm

Cervantes Law Firm is a multi-service business law practice headquartered in Markham, Ontario, with a second office in Montreal's Old Montreal district. Its principal, Marcos Cervantes, holds civil law and common law degrees from Université de Montréal, an LL.M in international taxation from the University of Toronto, and several trade credentials: a Certificate in Marine Transportation from a joint program of the Shipping Federation of Canada and Concordia University, a Certified Trade Compliance Specialist designation from the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers, and an Export Compliance Professional accreditation. Cervantes was called to the Barreau du Québec in 2010 and the Law Society of Ontario in 2011, and worked at small and large firms in Montreal and Toronto, plus the international trade and customs team of a Big 4 accounting firm, before founding the practice.

The firm advises small and medium sized businesses on business litigation, commercial contracts, corporate transactions, tax appeals, construction and commercial real estate litigation, and commercial insurance disputes. It also runs a transportation law practice covering aviation, maritime, and trucking matters, plus an import export practice built on Cervantes' customs and trade compliance background. Two of counsel lawyers round out the team: one a litigator with Ontario Superior Court trial experience and public procurement work, the other in the Montreal office, handling Quebec commercial litigation, contract, and tax files. The firm works in English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin, representing clients beyond Ontario and Quebec in countries including China, Colombia, France, Mexico, Spain, the United States, and Australia.
