Our History

Law Mexico was founded by Dennis John Peyton, an American attorney licensed to practice law in Mexico. Mr. Peyton received his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin, his graduate degree in Mexican Corporate and Economic law from La Universidad Panamericana, and his law degree from La Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico, both in Mexico City. He lived and worked in Mexico City in the 1980s, focusing on large multinational joint ventures, real estate development, and foreign investment in Mexico. In 1988, Mr. Peyton opened his office, Peyton & Associates, in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, and became heavily involved in litigation and real estate transactions in Mexico, as well as business set-ups for foreigners doing business in Mexico. Peyton & Associates is proud to have filed one of the only NAFTA cases regarding foreign investment in tourist developments in Mexico. They have also pioneered the use of collective legal actions to defend foreign condominium owners in Mexico. For over 30 years, Peyton & Associates have helped foreigners in Mexico, establishing working relations with professionals throughout Mexico and meeting the needs of clients, regardless of where they need help in Mexico.
