OUR ROOTS

Our story started in 2006 as part of Thomas Title & Escrow, now owned by Stewart Title (NYSE:STC). We aimed to offer professional escrow services to investors and wealthy individuals, based on reliable American practices. Initially focused on assets in Mexico and Latin America, we then expanded to meet escrow needs for clients in the U.S., Europe, and other global markets. In 2014, TLA, LLC became an independent company, committed to precision, security, and compliance in all we do.

A VISION BORN FROM EXPERTISE

Three experienced real estate lawyers came together to fill the gap for reliable U.S.-style escrow services in international deals. They combined their skills to form a company focused on providing transparency, security and trust for clients in real estate transactions.

TLA’s Founding Partners:

Frank W. Busch III - Founder and former CEO of Thomas Title; Founder of Deloache Capital
David W. Connell - Founder of Connell & Associates, a Mexican real estate law firm
Jonathan Pikoff - Founder of Pikoff & Associates, a cross-border real estate law firm

With over 80 years of experience, our founders created TLA based on trust, innovation and a solid understanding of the challenges clients face in real estate transactions in Latin America and other international markets. Their dedication to meeting this vital need shapes our identity as a company today.
