Expert legal guidance for day-to-day business legal issues, contract review and negotiation, strategic transactions, business formation, and immigration.
"...excellent professional, respectful and follows up...organized and knowledgable in startups and tech, among other disciplines. He is the kind of lawyer you want to have and not a lawyer that takes forever to get things done. A+" - Norman Ortiz, igenapps
Iván is a bilingual business and immigration attorney licensed in Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Before law, he served as COO of the Puerto Rico Science & Technology Research Trust, co-created Parallel18 — one of Latin America’s top startup accelerators — and served as Under Secretary of Puerto Rico’s Department of Economic Development. He’s also an active U.S. Army Reserve Captain. That background isn’t a footnote. It’s why founders, operators, and immigrants get a lawyer who understands what they’re actually building — not just the paperwork around it.
“So many clients come to us after a refusal or bad advice. My role is to bring clarity to complex situations and guide them with care and strategy. Every case matters, because behind every matter is a person trying to build something.”

If you have questions about our process, this section is for you.
Your journey starts with a free 15-minute eligibility call. This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s a genuine conversation. We’ll listen to your situation, ask the right questions, and assess whether your matter falls within our scope. If it does, we’ll explain exactly how we can help and what your next steps should be. If not, we’ll point you in the right direction.
Should you proceed, we’ll develop a strategy that reflects the full complexity of your matter — whether it's a full legal diagnostic, specific contract, corporate formation, immigration issue, or other. You’ll be guided by a qualified lawyer, with clear advice, document checklists, timelines, and transparent costs — no surprises.
We handle your application or appeal with precision and care. You’ll have consistent communication, updates at each stage, and access to your matter through our client portal. At Ruta.Legal, we don’t just fill forms and submit applications — we stay with you until the outcome is clear, and your path is secure.
