We make it happen.
UR Legal is a law firm built on international standards, whose partners and associates bring over two decades of hands-on experience to the legal landscape of the Baja California Peninsula. Our core practices are Real Estate, Corporate, Tax and Litigation, where we have guided developers, investors, banks, and individuals through complex land acquisitions, financing structures, and disputes.
We listen first, then shape our advice around what actually moves your matter forward — backed by the ethics, innovation and sector expertise that define our practice.
Through our strategic alliance with GLZ Abogados, a renowned full-service law firm in Mexico City, we extend that same standard to 20+ additional practice areas, giving clients full coverage across Mexico without losing the direct, partner-led attention that defines our core work.

Andrés Urquidi RicaudFounding Partner · Real Estate, Banking & Finance
Andrés Urquidi is the founding partner of UR Legal, leading the firm's Real Estate and Banking & Finance practices. Over more than a decade of practice, he has advised local and foreign developers, investors, and banks on complex real estate transactions and financing structures across Mexico, with a particular focus on Los Cabos, La Paz, and Tijuana.
On the real estate side, Andrés advises developers and investors on complex land acquisitions, trust (fideicomiso) structuring, and negotiations with institutional and private investors, representing North American individuals and entities investing in the Baja California Peninsula. His practice also includes general corporate advisory for the businesses behind these transactions.
In banking and finance, Andrés structures and negotiates secured lending transactions for domestic and foreign financial institutions, including syndicated loans, project and asset-based financing, and the full range of security instruments — pledges, mortgages, and guarantee, administration and source-of-payment trusts (fideicomisos). He is regularly retained by foreign lenders to perfect security interests over the assets, shares, and real property of Mexican subsidiaries.
Andrés has been recognized in the Banking & Finance practice by both Legal 500 and Best Lawyers, and has held the Next Generation Partner distinction for the past two years.
