AREAS OF PRACTICE

We view Business Law as the essential legal infrastructure that allows a company to grow on a firm footing. We understand it to be a strategic tool encompassing everything from selecting the ideal corporate structure to asset protection and contract management, tailored to the specific complexities of the business. 

 • Corporate Law: We handle the formation and restructuring of commercial companies, civil associations, and foundations. Our expertise includes drafting family constitutions and shareholder agreements. We provide specialist counsel on structured collaborative contracts, such as temporary unions (UTEs), joint ventures, and cooperation consortia. Furthermore, we offer comprehensive institutional support: managing internal compliance (minute books and registers) and handling all filings before administrative regulatory bodies. 

 • Contracts: We draft a wide range of civil and commercial agreements, tailored to the operational and commercial requirements of each client, focusing on the specific business objectives of every contract. We have extensive experience in the agribusiness and real estate sectors, as well as in the design and structuring of trusts (fideicomisos) for diverse operations. 

 • Consumer Law: We assist clients in navigating consumer regulations to mitigate the risk of fines and sanctions. We review contracts and advertising materials to prevent potential contingencies. We represent and defend our clients in both administrative claims and judicial proceedings. 

 • Civil and Commercial Litigation: We provide a robust, strategic technical defence to protect business interests in any civil or commercial dispute arising from corporate activity. We manage corporate law proceedings, such as challenges to assembly resolutions and liability actions. Additionally, we intervene in litigation involving breaches of contract, enforcement of guarantees, damages claims, and disputes concerning property rights.

We believe that a clear legal framework is the foundation for operating with peace of mind and ensuring business continuity. Our goal is to provide our clients with legal certainty in all interactions with their workforce, prioritising stability and predictability. 

 • Preventive Consultancy: We design contractual structures and internal policies that provide clarity and legal security to the employment relationship. We offer strategic support in decision-making to ensure regulatory compliance and avoid unnecessary contingencies. 

 • Collective Labour Relations: We manage dialogue and negotiation with trade unions and staff representatives. We aim to ensure industrial peace and operational sustainability through firm, professional, and transparent communication. 

 • Training and Development: We train leaders and management teams in the practical application of employment regulations. We translate the complexity of the law into functional management tools for day-to-day operations. 

 • Employment Due Diligence: We conduct comprehensive audits of workforce structures to guarantee correct registration in accordance with legal standards and applicable collective bargaining agreements. We work to optimise cost structures while ensuring the company operates under current compliance standards. 

 • Representation in Individual and Collective Disputes: We provide comprehensive assistance to companies facing disputes with trade unions and delegates, intervening both at the administrative stage before the labour authorities and in any resulting judicial proceedings. As part of our practice, we manage "Preventive Crisis Procedures" (PPC) aimed at enabling legal restructuring and reducing redundancy costs, as well as provide technical response to industrial action, such as strikes or assemblies, and represent the company in mandatory conciliation hearings. In every case, we manage the negotiation of settlements to resolve conflicts and restore healthy workplace relations. Furthermore, we defend our clients in proceedings for the removal of union immunity (desafuero) for disciplinary actions, disputes regarding union categorisation, claims for social security contributions, and challenges against administrative fines.

We view the law as a tool for designing business models and management frameworks that have a positive impact, including circular economy initiatives, regenerative production, and conservation programs. Guided by the principle of doing things right, we help ensure that transparency and environmental stewardship translate into long-term value, investment security, and project success. 

 • ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY AND TRIPLE IMPACT: We work with our clients to design management frameworks that incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. We provide guidance on developing triple-impact business models and obtaining B Corporation certification.  

 • REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: We handle the necessary administrative procedures to obtain permits related to the use and management of water, land, and forests, as well as waste management. In addition, we ensure compliance with international standards, with a particular focus on the European Union’s requirements for deforestation-free products. 

 • LEGAL VIABILITY DIAGNOSTICS: We conduct regulatory landscape assessments to identify risks and opportunities, and advise our clients on designing optimal legal structures for renewable energy projects, ecosystem services, and nature finance funds. We also provide guidance on land regularization processes through inheritance, adverse possession, and private agreements to ensure legal certainty regarding project ownership.  

 • ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION: We represent our clients in administrative and judicial disputes, employing prevention and early resolution strategies to protect the company’s reputation and operational continuity. Our services range from filing appeals against sanctions and challenging fines to managing environmental remediation plans. In addition, we provide legal support during public hearings and handle requests for access to information to ensure transparency and robustness in advocacy processes.
