Comprehensive legal coverage
Expert counsel in the areas that most impact our clients' operations and wealth.
Select an area to see its full scope.
01 Corporate, Governance & M&A Corporate structuring, governance, shareholder agreements, reorganizations, investment, mergers and acquisitions with legal and business judgment. +
Corporate decisions must work not only when signed, but throughout the company's later operation.
Company incorporation, reorganizations, shareholders joining or exiting, investment, acquisitions, sales, mergers, spin-offs, governance conflicts and changes of control.
The corporate structure, voting and economic rights, governance, restrictions between partners, and the exposure the deal leaves once it closes.
Bylaws, shareholder agreements, governance, reorganizations and closing documentation, coordinating with tax, employment or finance counsel when the deal requires it.
A well-structured deal anticipates breach, deadlock or shareholder disputes from the outset; we don't promise the absence of conflict, but the capacity to withstand it.
02 Contracts, Trade & Cross-Border Operations Negotiation and structuring of contracts, alliances, distribution, supply, joint ventures and domestic or international operations. +
A contract isn't judged only by its drafting: it has to work through performance, breach and termination.
Negotiating significant contracts, supply, distribution, agency, franchise, alliances, joint ventures and international deals.
The deal's economic purpose, risk allocation, guarantees, liability, termination, jurisdiction and applicable law.
Contracts and implementation mechanisms consistent with the real operation, not a generic template.
The contractual strategy anticipates evidence, breach and dispute-resolution mechanisms from the start.
03 Tax Tax analysis of business decisions, reorganizations and transactions, and defense in disputes with the tax authority. +
The tax dimension should be analyzed before decisions are executed that are later hard or costly to reverse.
Transactions, reorganizations, investments, acquisitions, profit distributions and corporate structures with tax impact.
The tax consequences of each alternative, supporting documentation, the substance of the transaction and existing contingencies.
Legally sound analysis and planning, support during tax-authority proceedings, and defense in tax disputes.
04 Banking & Finance Financing, lending transactions, guarantees, contract structuring, financial regulation and related disputes. +
Financing is also a distribution of risk, control, guarantees and future obligations.
Lending, financing, guarantees, refinancing, banking transactions and financial-sector regulatory matters.
Financial terms, covenants, guarantees, events of default and applicable regulation.
Documents, guarantees, negotiation and closing, and amendments when the deal's conditions change.
Facing a default or dispute, we define with the client the most convenient enforcement or negotiation strategy.
05 Employment Hiring, labor relations, workforce decisions, collective bargaining, contingency prevention and dispute representation. +
A corporate employment decision must remain legally defensible after it's executed. This practice serves the company as employer, not the individual worker.
Hiring, organizational changes, terminations, compensation structures, disciplinary matters and collective bargaining.
The employment relationship, available evidence, the procedure followed, and the individual or collective risk of each decision.
Prevention, documentation, negotiation, and administrative or judicial defense once a decision has already been challenged.
06 Competition & Consumer Relations Competition, advertising, consumer relations, warranties, distribution channels and defense against claims and authorities. +
This practice serves the company facing the market, its competitors, consumers and authorities — not the individual filing a consumer claim.
Advertising, promotions, terms and conditions, distribution, franchising, consumer claims and competition-authority actions.
Information given to consumers, commercial practices, distribution contracts, and the company's position before the authority.
Prevention, contract review, channel structuring, and representation in responding to claims or investigations.
07 Intellectual Property, Technology & Data Protection and exploitation of intangible assets, trademarks, licenses, technology contracts, data and digital businesses. +
This goes well beyond trademarks and patents: it protects the intangible asset that sustains the business.
Licensing, software development, technology contracts, data, proprietary developments and relationships with technology providers.
Ownership, permitted use, confidentiality, data handling, and the business model's regulatory risks.
Contracts, licenses, asset protection, regulatory compliance, and representation in disputes over use or exploitation.
08 Administrative, Regulatory & Government Contracting Government contracting, permits, sector regulation, administrative proceedings and representation before public entities and authorities. +
This practice supports the private company, contractor or operator facing the government or an authority — distinct from the Public Sector universe.
Government contracting, bids, permits, licenses, sector regulation, administrative investigations and sanction proceedings.
The applicable regulatory framework, the authority's jurisdiction, contractual obligations, and available evidence.
Bid structuring, support during execution, administrative appeals, defense, and administrative litigation when appropriate.
09 Corporate Crime & Compliance Prevention, investigation and defense against corporate criminal risk, officer liability and compliance programs. +
Compliance should work before an investigation begins, but the company also needs to know how to react once the risk has materialized. This is distinct from the individual criminal-law track.
Preventing corporate criminal risk, officer liability, internal investigations and authority actions.
The facts, existing internal controls, documentation, responsibilities, and available evidence.
Prevention protocols, internal investigations, response to the authority, and defense, coordinating with other practice areas when needed. We do not offer immunity from criminal risk.
10 Litigation & Arbitration Representation in corporate, contractual, commercial and business disputes before courts and arbitral tribunals. +
A business dispute is built around the position that can be proven and sustained, not just the claim one wishes to make.
Corporate, contractual, commercial, construction and liability disputes, in court or before arbitral tribunals.
The facts, available evidence, contracts, the counterparty's position, procedural risks, and the real capacity to enforce a favorable decision.
We set the strategy, negotiate when that better protects the client's position, and litigate or arbitrate when necessary.
