In a reality sometimes complex and not easy to understand such as Mexico, Cannizzo acts as an interpreter and invaluable guide in the reality of the country, where adequate legal protection sometimes is also based on understanding the local behaviors, habits and customs.

To avoid the problems and to find the solutions, it is therefore essential to combine a rigorous theoretical knowledge of the Mexican law, a deep experience of local practice and a clear understanding of the Mexican culture and the culture and interests of the client.
