About Ruta.Legal

Strategic Business and Immigration Advice. Handled With Care.

At Ruta.Legal, we help entrepreneurs, business owners, operators, and immigrants on their day-to-day legal needs, strategic deals, corporate formation, and immigration issues while they run their company or build a life in the U.S. Many come to us after receiving poor advice, delays, or generic service that failed to consider their unique circumstances.

We provide the legal clarity, care, and strategic expertise needed to move forward with confidence.

How We Can Support You

Incorporation

When you’re starting a business, doing things right from the get-go is essential. We can help you by setting up a corporate entity and provide essential stakeholder agreements to set up shop.

Funding

Some businesses need extra capital to get to the next level of growth. Whether you're using a SAFE, Convertible Note, Series Seed, or Equity investment, we'll provide guidance throughout.

Intellectual Property

Ideas are the most valuable assets of many companies. We'll help you to protect and commercialize your intellectual property.

Employment

The team behind the scenes of your product or service is what drives you forward. With us you can make sure that your employment, independent contractor, and advisor agreements, among others, are valid and effective.

Contracts

Contracts are the legal infrastructure of your business. We'll draft and review your contracts with clients, vendors, and other stakeholders.

General Counsel

Your company may not need or afford a full-time lawyer, or perhaps it may not have enough legal workflow to justify it. In that case, you can outsource those basic day-to-day legal needs such as contracts, terms, and policies to us on a subscription basis, while you run your company.

Flat Fee Projects

We’re here for you whenever you need us. We make it simple to work on a per-project basis. Examples include funding, contracts, and Puerto Rico incentives, among other individual projects.

Immigration Services

Support for talent-based immigration, naturalization, and citizenship applications tailored to your unique situation.

"We are a startup getting ready to do a seed round and needed to get our legal house in order. To be honest I was a little overwhelmed about everything we needed to do. So the part I appreciated most about working with rios|mena law was how Ivan took the time to personally talk to me through the entire process and everything that needed to get done. The best part being how he and his team took care of everything from beginning to end. Even helping us execute the signatures of all the parties involved to officiate all the documents. Delivering to us a shared folder with every single document fully executed and organized. HUGE weight off my shoulders! Thanks again for such amazing work."
