William Moore is the owner of the Moore law firm. He is a graduate of Georgia Tech<br />

and the Columbia University Law School. Moore believes that the truest definition of<br />

freedom is to have the training, skills and autonomy to start your own business. That commitment<br />

drives his approach to both his legal practice and his work in the community. His<br />

professional work revolves around helping entreprenuers overcome legal problems. Before<br />

attending law school, Moore served as a small enterprise development volunteer in<br />

the Peace Corp in Senegal, West Africa. In <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>, he has helped a number of companies<br />

set up corporations or LLCs and advised them on legal and regulatory matters so<br />

they could focus on their core businesses. He is a board member of the city of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />

Consolidated Plan Advisory Board, the American Constitution Society and a founding<br />

JULIAN MYERS<br />

Julian Myers is a partner at Higgs, Fletcher & Mack. He is a graduate of Universidad Anhuac<br />

in Mexico City, the University of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Law School and the European Union<br />

Law at Magdalen College, Oxford, in the United Kingdom. Myers is truly unique in his<br />

ability to bridge the gap between Mexico and <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>, which has proven to be crucial in<br />

cross-border business and <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>’s community relations. As a lawyer licensed to practice<br />

in both Mexico and California, he focuses on business, corporate and real estate law. His<br />

representation goes beyond his firm and clients and, given his bi-cultural background, he is<br />

especially valuable in understanding differences and handling matters that often arise in<br />

cross-border transactions in both language and culture. He recently worked through a lengthy<br />

process with multiple agencies and groups on both sides of the border to get a child returned<br />

to his parents. He assisted a U.K. client with the acquisition, financing and resale of a $5<br />

million restaurant property in Encinitas and also assisted a <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> client with the formation<br />

of Mexican entities, the acquisition of a $40 million development company in Baja<br />

California, and ongoing legal matters relating to the protection and development of the property.<br />

He is involved with the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> River Park Foundation and Together for Charity, a<br />

nonprofit that makes sure orphanages in Tijuana get the support that they need. Before moving<br />

to <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>, Myers was an associate at one of Mexico’s oldest law firms, Noriega y Escobedo,<br />

in Mexico City.<br />
